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 that's made with fresh fruit, sugar, and pectin. It must be refrigerated or frozen. Regular jam is made by cooking fresh fruit with sugar (and other ingredients, like lemon juice and pectin) until thickened. It is then canned using a hot water bath, which makes it shelf stable (before opening).

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

Pectin is a naturally occurring 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 works to create that thick 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 them thoroughly (either with your dishwasher or by hand).
