recipe: five minute jam

August 25th, 2009 - by

I love homemade jam.  I don’t however like to spend a lot of time making it.  I found this jam recipe and I can now make jam in 5 minutes.  And it tastes amazing.  If you think that making jam is too daunting of a task, think again.  Try it out.  You can use any fruit you like and use it for so many different things!  Not only on toast or buttermilk biscuits, but also drizzle it over ice cream, swirl in cake batter, or brownie batter.  The possibilities are endless!

5 minute Jam

makes about 6 (8 ounce) jars

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1.59 ounce pouch Ball Freezer Jam Fruit Pectin
4 cups fresh fruit (I like strawberry, I just pulse them in the food processor for a few seconds)

Stir the sugar and the pectin in a bowl until well blended. Add the fruit and stir for 3 minutes. Ladle into clean jars. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or freeze for up to one year.

Enjoy!
