Raspberry Freezer Jam in 30 Minutes


I bought a flat of local organic raspberries yesterday at the market and made a quick batch of freezer jam. I learned how to make freezer jam a few weeks ago with strawberries so it was all the easier this time around and only took about 30 minutes to whip up five jars of jam. I found it to be much faster making raspberry jam because the berries were so easy to mash. The berries were so sweet that I only had to use 1/2 cup of sugar for the whole batch. I'm so glad I learned how to make freezer jam this summer. It normally would have intimated me (any new cooking process does) but it is so easy and so satisfying to pack away all those jars in the freezer.
