Raspberry Freezer Jam

Even for someone as kitchen-challenged as me, this recipe is pretty easy and makes the most scrumptious jam!

Ingredients

• 2 Cups of mashed raspberries (mashed VERY well)
• 4 cups of sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice
• 3/4 cup of water
• 1 packet of pectin (1 3/4 oz) Sur-Gel and Easy-Gel are the same thing

Directions

1. Mash up the raspberries
2. Mix the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice together. Make sure it's well blended and then let stand for 10 minutes. (Best to mix using a wooden spoon)
3. While the raspberries are standing, put the pectin and water in a large kettle. Bring to a hard boil for one minute, stirring constantly. (A hard boil can't be stirred down)
4. Add the raspberry/sugar/lemon juice mixture to the pectin and water. Stir constantly.
5. Once it reaches a rolling boil, start timing- it's need to be at this hard boil for 3 minutes.
6. When it's done, take it off the heat and immediately pour it into your jars. The jars need to be completely dry AND HOT. It's best to put them in the oven on 300 degrees for about 10 minutes.
   
7. After all your jam is poured and canned, put the jars into the freezer.
   
8. After 12 hours you can enjoy your delicious raspberry jam!
