Summer Fruit Freezer Jam

[lisatelramor]

Grape freezer jam! It's made with fresh Concord grapes. (Yes grape juice and grape jelly grapes. If you haven't had them fresh they're delicious and like candy I swear)

Basically you separate grape pulp (with their seeds) from the skins until you have a little more than 1.5 cups pulp. Your pulp goes into a sauce pan to cook until tender (you can add a little bit of water if it doesn't look juicy enough, but no more than a 1/4 c. While that's cooking, blend your skins. It doesn't have to be a perfect puree, but should be mostly liquid.

In a bowl measure 4 cups sugar. Add your grape skin puree (it will be very very purple and stain things so be careful not to spill it on you). Once the pulp is nice and soft and separating from seeds, put it through a food mill or fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Grape seeds are pretty big so it shouldn't be too hard (unlike black raspberries >_>)

Make sure that pulp gets added to the skin and sugar. Stir and let it get all good and mixed in in a sugary soup. Let it meld for 10 mins or so, stirring occasionally.

Add your 1 pack of liquid pectin (and a squirt of lemon or lime if you want. No more than a tablespoon) and stir for 3 minutes and sugar has dissolved.

Pour into containers (leave 1/2" or so cuz it expands if you freeze it), let sit till set or 24 hours, then either freeze for up to a year or fridge for up to 3 weeks.

It's softer and thinner than grape jelly but just as sweet and grape tasting! Plus that nice mouth feel a jam has ^_^ it tastes delightful on pancakes ^_~

This makes about 6 cups!

A sweet and savory way to use up any extra cherry tomatoes you may have on hand, this jam tastes great on crackers with goat cheese or cream cheese.

First round of jam making today. It's a mix of whatever the garden provides and I'm no canner, so I freeze it in little containers. I have a few berry types that ripen as and when they like so I freeze the berries I pick and then jam them a couple times a summer. Here's the basic recipe:

1 kilo fruit

1/4 cup water

500g sugar

1 pack liquid pectin

Method: Put the fruit and water on the stove in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook it til all the berries have burst. Strain out the solids. Put the liquid back in the pot and add sugar, cooking gently til its all dissolved. Add the pectin as per package directions. Cool and portion out into freezer friendly containers. Label with painter's tape and a felt marker. Freeze.

This batch was gooseberry, currant, jostaberry and strawberry. Next batch will likely be blackberries, strawberries and raspberries, with grape jelly in autumn.

Side Dish Recipe

Since the rose hips in this jam aren't cooked, the jam is fresh and sweet and still has a vibrant rosy-orange hue. Use pesticide-free rugosa rose hips that are either wild or grown.

7 and 1/2 jars of homemade raspberry freezer jam!!! Made with home grown berries. Absolutely delicious. Amazing. Scrumptious.

Worth its weight in gold perhaps?

It took me two days and several hiccups but I got it done with some help!
