Notes
I just love freezer jam. I think because the fruit isn't cooked, it just has that wonderful fresh fruit flavor. Yummy and simple and makes great little gifts for friends and neighbors. This is a Sure Jell Fruit Pectin recipe. There are dozens on their website and on the pamphlet that comes with the fruit pectin.
