Homemade jam even a child could make

Posted Apr 06 2011 8:02am

homemade jam We had our super-easy- poor-man’s homemade jam , and now we have our real berry, thick, no sugar added homemade jam.  This jam isn’t exactly cheap to make.  I bought a package of pectin that was $3, and I got this jar plus another 1 cup of jam.  Plus the cost of the berries, and jam made with high fructose corn syrup somehow becomes the cheaper alternative.  When compared with commercial-all-fruit style jams however, it is definitely cheaper.  J-Week continues with JAM~!

  • 5 cups berries (I used frozen strawberries and blackberries)
  • 1 package “No Sugar Needed” Fruit Pectin (Sure-Jell 1.75 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup water

Place frozen berries in a pot and begin to simmer.  Once berries begin to break down and defrost, pour berries into a blender and pulse until desired consistency.  Return berries to pot, add water and pectin and bring to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute.  Skim foam off the top.  Pour into prepared jars.

This jam set up super quickly. I tried it with using only a few teaspoons of regular pectin, and 12 hours later, it was still runny.  Other than that, I don’t see how you could go wrong.  This jam is perfect for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and should last us quite awhile!
