Raspberry Chipotle Freezer Jam
So you want to try canning, but you don’t want to heat up your house. You don’t want to stand in front of boiling pots for 30 minutes + waiting for the water to get right. You just want results! Have you thought of trying freezer jams?
Freezer jams are quick recipes that take a particular pectin. Small packs cost around a dollar for enough to make 2 jars. (If you got the paper 2 weeks ago the $1/1 Ball/Kerr Pectin coupon made these packs free at Walmart!).

So let’s try a quick and sassy recipe to start the freezer jams! After you make this you can enjoy it in the fridge up to 3 weeks, or freeze it for a year! The best part – no cooking is really involved.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch (1.59 oz/45 g) freezer jam pectin (2 1/2 of the freebie ones!)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 4 cups crushed red raspberries

Directions:

  1. Make sure you wash and sterilize your jars. Remember you want your food to stay good! You will need five (5) 8 oz jars.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and the pectin. Stir well until blended.
  3. Chop your chipotle peppers well until almost a puree. If you don’t want a lot of spice – remove the seeds. Put in a large bowl with 2 tbsp of the adobo sauce.
  4. Crush your raspberries. Crush them good! Now add them to bowl with the peppers and sauce. Mix well.
  5. Dump your sugar and pectin mixture into the bowl. Mix the entire mixture for three full minutes. You’ll start to feel the mixture gel together.
  6. Now, ladle them into the jars. You have to leave 1/2 inch worth of head space. Remember frozen things expand, so this space is needed.
  7. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Now you can enjoy it or freeze it for up to a year!

How easy is that! You made a jam you can enjoy all year long!
