This blackberry freezer jam is an easy way to preserve fresh berries without any canning required. Crushed blackberries are mixed with sugar and Sure-Jell, then poured into containers and allowed to set at room temperature before freezing. It’s a simple, no-cook jam that’s perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or gifting to friends and family.

Ingredients

6 cups blackberries should make 3 cups crushed
5 ¼ cups sugar
1 pkg Sure Jell fruit pectin

Instructions

Wash and prepare glass or plastic containers to store jam in. You can buy these or I have found that old sour cream containers work just fine or plastic containers from the grocery store that work for the freezer.
Next, crush your berries using a potato masher or food processor. I know the instructions inside the package say not the puree but I always have with my blackberry jam and it has always worked.
Measure your sugar into a bowl. Add your 3 cups crushed berries and mix. Let stand ten minutes stirring occasionally.
In a small saucepan, mix the box of sure jell with ¾ cup cold water. This may start out lumpy. Bring the water/sure jell mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add to fruit mixture.
Stir constantly for about 3 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy( a few sugar crystal may remain). Pour into prepared containers leaving ½ inch at top for expansion during freezing. Cover with lids.
Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Then, store in freezer for up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks (I've done mine longer). Makes 5 cups.
