Equipment
16 4 oz. canning jars with lids (or the equivalent in other sized jars for a total of 64 oz of jam), cleaned and ready to use
Blender or food processor
Large bowl
Medium saucepan
Spoons and measuring cups
Ingredients
2cupsblackberries
2cupsraspberries
2cupsstrawberries
5¼cupssugar
1packetSure-Jell, original
¾cupwater
Instructions
Wash and dry the fruit.
Add the blackberries and raspberries to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Pour the pureed berries into a mesh strainer situated over a large bowl and strain the puree to remove the seeds (if you want to keep the seeds, simply pour the puree into the bowl instead).
Cut the stems off the strawberries, then add them to the food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
Pour the strawberries into the bowl with the other pureed berries. This should be about 3 cups of pureed berries total.
Add the sugar and mix well. Allow the sugar and pureed berries to sit on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Stir occasionally.
After 10 to 20 minutes, combine the Sure-Jell and water in a medium saucepan set on medium-high heat. Allow to come to a boil (this may take a few minutes.)
Once the mixture comes to a boil, allow to boil for one minute, stirring frequently.
Pour the Sure-Jell mixture into the bowl with the berries and sugar.
Stir the contents of the bowl for 3 minutes (I like to set a timer).
After three minutes of stirring, use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the jam into the prepared jars, leaving about a quarter-inch of space at the top for expansion in the freezer.
Secure the lids on the jars and allow the jam to sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
Place the jam in the freezer for future use, or in the fridge for immediate use.
Notes
Freezer jam lasts about 3 weeks in the fridge or one year in the freezer.Inspired by Sure-Jell's freezer jam recipes.
