4-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

3/4 cup water

RINSE clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.

Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator before using.

RECIPE BACKSTORY

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.
