Freezer jam is a homemade jam that's made with fresh fruit, sugar, and pectin. It's made without cooking the jam and can be stored in your refrigerator or freezer.

Freezer jam is an uncooked jam made with fresh fruit, sugar, and pectin. It is not shelf stable and must be store in your refrigerator or freezer. Regular jam is made by cooking fresh fruit with sugar (and sometimes other ingredients, such as lemon juice and pectin) until thickened, and then canning it in jars using a hot water bath, which makes it shelf stable (before opening).

If your freezer jam didn't set up, you may not have measured your ingredients correctly (the ratio of sugar to fruit was off), the sugar may not have been completely dissolved, or your pectin may be expired. You can always add more pectin to thicken it ... try following these remake instructions.

Pectin is a naturally occurring ingredient (it's a soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables) that thickens and stabilizes jams and jellies. When combined with sugar and fruit, pectin works to create that jelly-like texture you expect in homemade jam. Learn more about how pectin works.

Freezer jam can be stored in your refrigerator for up to three weeks or frozen for up to one year.

You do not need to boil jars when making freezing jam, however you should clean them thoroughly (either in your dishwasher or by hand).
