Blackberry Freezer Jam

Ingredients:

Garden Fare No Cook Freezer Jam Gelling Powder
6 Cups Blackberries (which = 4 cups smashed blackberries)
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) Sugar

Directions:
  1. Wash and rinse containers.
  2. Place prepared [4 cups (1 L) of finely chopped blackberries, or your choice of fruit] in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Gently stir in sugar and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
  4. Slowly sprinkle gelling powder a little at a time onto fruit mixture while stirring for 3 minutes.
  5. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
  6. Gently stir again for 1 minute.
  7. pour jam into jars. Leaving 1 inch head space.
  8. Store in refrigerator and use within 6 weeks or store in freezer for up to 1 year.
I like this recipe because from fruit to Jam takes under 30 minutes, with no cooking required. It also Requires less than half the sugar of traditional cooked jams using pectin! Usually you have to add 5 to 6 cups of sugar and cook the fruit over the stove and this recipe is so fast and easy. And it is really yummy!!
