I had a conversation with an older couple today and
The lady mentioned that she made freezer jam and went on about how good it is, her husband was in complete agreement.
A quick check on the net and there is a ton of information on it, has anyone tried it?

Quick update. This is canning for those without a canner from everything that I am reading it takes about 30 minutes once you start. The directions are in the box of sur jell.
So I picked the blackberries today, got the jar out. Tomorrow I will can them.
According to the pack the jam should be good for a year in the freezer and up to six weeks in the fridge. So the first batch will be smallish just in case. I will Post pics of the experience

Ok jam is done.
It went extremely fast, about 30 minutes just like the directions said, that includes prep time and fruit mashing so there are no pictures of the process this time. I have more fruit so I will do another batch and slow down the process where I can for pics.
I will post post pictures of the canned jam tomorrow when I get the pictures uploaded to the net. Right now I have to get ready for work.

OK so I made round two of the freezer jam and this time got pictures, so here we go.
You will need one box of Sure-Jell, your fruit, sugar, just a tad bit of water, a bowl, heat source and jars.
The exact amount of fruit to sugar is listed on the instruction inside the box. For my jam, it was 3 cups of mashed fruit to 5 1/4 cups of sugar and one box of Sure-Jell. Easy enough.
I thawed my frozen fruit.
Mashed up 3 cups.
Put 5 1/4 cups of sugar in a bowl. (my daughter made hob-knobs so for this batch I used Splenda, will see how it goes)
Added the two.
Mixed well
Put the saucepan on the stove, brought to a boil and added the Sure-Jell, stir constantly for 1 minute.
Added the pectin to the jam mix and stirred for 3 minutes.
Scoped or ladled the jam into the waiting jars.
Now wait 24 hours and that's it.
Set back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Lots of fruits and almost no labor.
