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

Freezer jam is an uncooked jam made with fresh fruit, sugar, and pectin, that must be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Regular jam is made by cooking fruit with sugar (and other ingredients, such as lemon juice and pectin) until thickened. It is then canned in a hot water bath, which makes it shelf stable (before opening).

If your freezer jam didn't set properly, you may not have measured your ingredients accurately (the ratio of fruit to sugar was off), the sugar may not have been totally dissolved, or you didn't cook the pectin properly or it may have expired. You can always add more pectin to thicken it (check out these remake instructions).

Pectin is a natural ingredient (it's a soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables) that's used to thicken and stabilize jams and jellies. When combined with sugar and fruit, pectin helps create that jelly-like texture you expect in 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 the jars thoroughly (either in your dishwasher or by hand).
