Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-cook freezer jam made with fresh mixed berries, sugar, and fruit pectin. Perfect for preserving the bright, fresh flavors of summer berries without the fuss of traditional cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600 grams) mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries), fresh or thawed frozen
  • 3 cups (600 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 package (1.75 oz / 49 grams) Sure-Jell fruit pectin (no-cook type)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Rinse and drain mixed berries well. Remove stems or leaves. Place berries in a large mixing bowl and mash gently with a potato masher or fork until chunky but not pureed.
  2. Add granulated sugar to the mashed berries and stir well. Let sit while preparing pectin solution.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine fruit pectin with 1/2 cup water. Whisk to dissolve completely and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  4. Quickly pour hot pectin solution into the berry and sugar mixture. Stir vigorously for about 3 minutes to evenly distribute pectin.
  5. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  6. Spoon jam into clean jars or freezer-safe containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace for expansion. Seal tightly.
  7. Freeze overnight (about 24 hours) to set. Thaw in fridge or at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm berries to avoid watery jam. Do not over-mash berries to maintain texture. Use no-cook or freezer jam pectin like Sure-Jell for best results. Stir pectin solution immediately after boiling into berry mixture to ensure proper setting. Leave headspace in jars for freezing expansion. Jam sets after about 24 hours in freezer. Stir jam once or twice during setting if possible. For low-sugar version, use low-sugar pectin and reduce sugar by half.
