Do you ever find yourself just totally grateful for things your mom has taught you.
I remember learning to make freezer jam as a teen and again when I was pregnant with Caitlyn. We made A LOT of freezer jam when I was pregnant, or maybe it just seemed that way because I was as big as a house, with swollen feet and 2 small kids running around. At any rate, I put off making freezer jam for a long time because I remembered it taking so long that I just never really wanted to dive back into it again. Thinking back on that now, I think it took so long because we made so much, probably around 4 full flats of berries. Well a few years ago, I was asked to demo freezer jam making in our ward. I panicked and then called my mom. She assured me that is was an easy process and she walked me through the steps. Now making jam is so easy and so satisfying. I love creating new combos and just having something in my house I made that my kids love too. This is the fruits of my latest batches. Thanks MOM!
Strawberry, Strawberry/blueberry and Strawberry/Mango
fresh strawberries, frozen blueberries and i also used frozen mango chunks from Costco.my advice is to thaw the frozen fruit before pureeing it
Easy Freezer Jam
4 cups pureed fruit
1 1/2 -2 C sugar
pectin
containers to put jam in
puree washed fruit and measure out 4 cups. Place into big mixing bowl. Add sugar and pectin and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Pour into freezer containers and make sure lids are on tight. I let mine sit on the counter for a about 30 min before placing into the freezer.
enjoy

I love doing freezer jam, especially now that I finally have a food processor! My kids call it mom's world famous jam. I guess that means they like it!
Yummmmmmy! Sounds divine ... and with your home made rolls nothin could be better (especially on Sundays!)
Wow, that doesn't sound too hard! I might even be able to do it! Thanks for the recipe! I remember how yummy your freezer jam is. I think Nick went through an entire container at dinner one night when we were there. :) Oh how we miss you all!
They look delicious! I LOVE freezer jam. It is so far and beyond the store bought stuff that I try not to let myself run out. It is harder with kids around, but still worth it!
