How To Make Jam From Frozen Fruit-MARCH CANNING MADNESS

Рет қаралды 416

Күн бұрын

March Canning Madness prompted me to make a low-sugar jam from frozen fruit. Constance at Cosmopolitan Cornbread is hosting an open collaboration again this year. #marchcanningmadness has us starting the canning now so we don't have to cram it all in during August and September.
Be sure to pop over to her channel @CosmopolitanCornbread to see the playlist.
I got the recipe from here:

This is great to see! Frozen fruit is always available so there is no waiting for the garden to do it's thing. Love this! Thank you for sharing.

If we wanted a mixed berry jam we would have to freeze some of the berries to accomplish that because they simply don't ripen at the same time. And the grocery store frozen fruit is great for this.

Your jam looks wonderful! I'm happy to see someone making jam from frozen fruits. I am often asked by people if you can do that, and you absolutely can! Thank you for participating in the collaboration!

This jam is such a rich colour it would be a great gift. It's not your standard single fruit variety.

Frozen fruit is already trimmed and available year round whether it is your own or store bought. It's great!

Jams made with frozen fruit come out delicious. Thank you for sharing 😊

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 3 ай бұрын

Frozen fruit and vegetables are harvested at peak freshness rather than picked underripe and shipped. Unless you're growing everything at home, buying the product is necessary. Frozen fruit is a win-win.

Yes, the metal stove top dissipates the cold and things defrost more quickly. A metal bowl does it too. Together it's even more.

Yes, absolutely. Just thaw them before making your recipe. Or allow extra time for them to thaw at time of cooking.

I love watching people use Pomona Pectin - I have some but haven't used it yet because I had Sure Jell that I needed to use up first. FYI - if you order from Azure they carry Pomona Pectin - that's where I got mine. This jam looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

I would love to order a lot of products from Azure. However, I am Canadian and we don't have Azure here. There is no equivalent that I'm aware of in Ontario. I will keep my eyes open for other suppliers. Thanks for watching.

The sauce looks beautiful. I usually pressure can quarts with meat for 90 minutes.

I haven't taken that step yet. I am usually in a hurry to just get the veggies processed that I don't take the time to add meat. I may shift this coming season

We don't eat a large amount of jam here, but I do like to mix it into my yogurt now and then. My type 1 diabetic son can enjoy this with less worry too.

Thanks for sharing. I used to love strawberry rhubarb jam but quit making it because it was to sweet. I think I might give it another go with this method.

Pomona's Pectin is the magic ticket. You can even use other sweeteners.

@jacquiblanchard3131 4 ай бұрын

Thank you, Karen!! As you know, I'm acting as personal chef right now. We need low sugar low sodium recipes, and jam is a rare treat. I'm going to give this a go this week. Much appreciated!

Pomona's Pectin is key to this low sugar method. If you have a stockpot, it's a method that could be done while visiting your mom even.

@michelehidgman3864 4 ай бұрын

I just purchased Pomona's pectin so I can make less sugar jams and jellies. My dad is diabetic as well, and he loves most of the things I can. Thank you for sharing.

Your jam looks amazing. Thank you for sharing. I used Pomona's Pectin for the first time to make blueberry jam. You can taste the flavour of the fruit without being overpowered by the sweetness of the large amount of sugar required when using other brands of pectin.

Exactly. That's why I'm going that way too.

I made some No pectin jam last month from frozen berries that we are enjoying. I have never tried pomona's pectin so I may have to check into some of that too.

The package was about $12-$15 Canadian but it makes several batches of jam. I will get at least 3-4 batches from it.

@ruthgossett7281 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing this using the Pomona’s Pectin. I've wondered if it sets up and with you showing us the metal measuring cup you used to fill your jars we could see it was. I will be giving this brand a try now. The jam looked so good!

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

I am pleased that tiny detail helped convince you. This is a great product. The pack cost me $15 Canadian, from Amazon but it will easily make 3-4 or more batches of jam.

@graceacres9804 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know that you could use frozen fruit for jam.

Yep, just have to defrost it. Especially when making anything with strawberries and blueberries because they are not in season at the same time.

Thank you for doing a low sugar jam! It is nice to taste the fruit and not just be teeth curling sweet!

Right!?! Nature gave the berries a great flavour. They don't need to be masked by a tonne of sugar.

@teresabowles3103 4 ай бұрын

You make it look so easy to make jam. The last time that I tried to make jam it was storming outside and the electric kept going off and on, so it didn't turn out too good. I won't be trying next time when it's storming either. Live and learn! Thanks for sharing.

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Oh, but cooking during a storm is a nice distraction. I'd say try again. I was surprised by how quickly this was setting.

I can't make mixed berry jam unless I use frozen fruit. The berries just aren't ripe at the same time.

@longarmsupplies 4 ай бұрын

LOL, I do jam from frozen fruit quite often at this time of year. It's time to get the freezers ready for the new season.

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Exactly. It allows us to not feel so much pressure in the fall. We don't have berries here -yet- so I had to buy grocery store berries. But they are fine for smoothies, so why not for jam? It turned out delicious.

@raydeenjaques2048 4 ай бұрын

@debbiekiehl9166 Thank you for sharing your source, you both answered my question as to, where to most economically source Pomona’s Pectin. If I am to make any more jams/jellies, it needs to be much lower sugar. Thank you ButtetcupandFernhomestead and Constance for this.

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

I'm curious. Where did you find the lowest cost?

@patriciawoodward2566 4 ай бұрын

Just took some more blackberries out of my freezer for making jam tomorrow. Can you have too much jam!!?? Makes great little gifts for friends.

Right!?! That's why I went with the lower sugar recipe. I can gift this to my kids and not feel bad about the diabetic one getting too much sugar.

@colleenjerns9239 4 ай бұрын

I have so many blueberries in my freezer. I bet my husband would enjoy using some to make jam for him. The lower sugar would also be more healthy for him.

I actually like using frozen fruits for jams. It’s hard to get enough fresh fruit at times in the type that I want. It’s time saving, too.

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

It really is. They're already cleaned and trimmed. Defrosting them overnight in the fridge even saves on mashing the fruit.

But that $15 packet does 3 or more batches. You can save that much in sugar and pectin if you're using other brands.

Thank you for showing this. I am wondering if this would be a consistency that can be used in yogurt to make my daughter's smoothies. Using her frozen fruit in this way would free up so much space in my freezer

@ButtercupAndFernHomestead 4 ай бұрын

Sure, but keep in mind it will be using some sugar the frozen fruit doesn't have. It is delicious, and lower sugar than most jam.

@renalarue6988 4 ай бұрын

I’m surprised that as sure as you were to get the correct headspace that you’d try to can the one that was no where close to that. It’ll work fine just put in the fridge.

Yes, it was only about half a cup of jam. I used it on some crackers for me and bread for my husband. A generous taste sampling. It is delicious.
