Have you ever tried to water bath it after putting it in the jars? I know you used plastic but I was thinking of using jars and doing the bath method, just to keep my freezers a little less crammed.
Thanks.

I used 1 1/2 packets of Certo pectin and mine didn’t set. I put back in a pan and boiled with the other 1/2 packet of Certo pectin and it still didn’t set. Hate to waste it all. Wonder if another packet of Certo will make it set?

Erin – what a fantastic recipe – thank you. Since being diagnosed diabetic I’ve been searching for no sugar recipes. Never heard of ‘freezer jam’ – so thank you for a great discovery.

Can you use and what amount would you use frozen fruits? Since fresh fruit is not always available or affordable I am hoping this would work. I am really looking forward to making my own jelly as soon as I hear back from someone. Thanks for the great recipes!

Made this about an hour ago and it’s already setting! I licked my fingers before I even put it in the fridge to cool…tastes tart, but in a good way. Who needs rot-your-teeth-sweet jam anyways? This will be a great way to reduce our sugar in the morning.

I used 3- 1 pound crates of whole strawberries and only 1 package of no sugar Sur Jell fruit pectin. Hulling the strawberries with a drinking straw works like a charm. I also used my palm blender to mash up the berries and make them super smooth. My whole family can’t wait to try the jam on some English muffins tonight!

Since your name is Erin and so is mine, I’m going to make labels that read “Erindipity’s Strawberry Jam”

Thanks again!

I know this is a no sugar recipe, but I thought the apple juice would make it sweeter. I followed this recipe yesterday and it set up fine, but it’s really sour. Is there any way I can redo this batch and add a little sugar? I hate to see it all go to waste.

Sorry Adriane, occasionally pectin doesn’t set right for a variety of reasons…sorry it didn’t turn out. Years ago I had a “bad batch”…very frustrating!

Disappointing. Followed recipe exactly, and did not set correctly. Nor did it taste good. What do I do now? All those strawberries wasted on making syrupy mess. .

Does using unsweetened apple sauce make any sense?
