Let's Jam! My Latest Discovery...

My biggest project lately has been making plum jam! As I researched jam-making I started to think, Wow, this seems a little complicated and I need so much equipment! But, lucky me, I came across the perfect solution....freezer jam! It is so easy I couldn't believe it! Mash up 4 cups of fruit, mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar with "freezer jam pectin", add the fruit and mix for 3 minutes with a wooden spoon. Fill the freezer containers (found in the canning section of your supermarket) and let them sit for 30 minutes. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks and in the freezer for up to 1 year! No cooking or steaming required! I'll never buy jam again, that's what I love about what I do!

Here's the Freezer Jam Recipe:

This recipe is a little different than what I did but it's still the same basic concept. I used only plums and no lemon zest. But I think I'll try this one next, sounds delicious!
