freezer jam

here's a quick and easy way to make your own jam. it tastes like fresh fruit! once you've had this, no other jam will taste nearly as good.

2 c mashed fruit
4 c sugar
3/4 c water
1 package fruit pectin

mix fruit and sugar and let stand 20 minutes. in a small saucepan, conbine pectin and water. boil for 1 minutes and immediately pour over fruit mixture. stir 2-3 minutes. pour into containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. cover and let stand 24 hours. store in freezer until ready to use (up to 1 year). once thawed, store in fridge up to 3 weeks.

* this is VERY sweet. i only use 3/4 - 1 c of sugar per 2 c of fruit.
