No-Sugar Homemade Jam image

My latest batch of this all-natural jam uses summer-fresh blackberries and peaches, but the beauty of this flexible recipe is that a variety of frozen fruit may be used to make this a healthy, delicious option all winter long. See the notes section for the many ways to vary the recipe.

Time 15m

Yield 1 Cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup blackberries (see notes for fruit substitutions)
1 peach, peeled, pitted and diced
3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup (see notes)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice and/or the zest the whole lemon or lime

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, peach, and lemon juice and zest, if using (or substitute fruit of choice, amount directed below). As the mixture begins to boil, mash the fruit with the back of a fork until it breaks down. This should take 5 minutes, give or take a few minutes depending on the type of fruit used. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the honey, starting with 1 to 2 tablespoons. Taste, and add more honey (or sweetener of choice) to your liking. Add the chia seeds and stir to incorporate. Let the jam set for about 5 minutes to thicken. Cool and transfer to a jar or air-tight container and refrigerate. The jam will keep for approximately 2 weeks in the fridge and may be frozen.

NO SUGAR STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM



No Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam image

When you accidentally come home with 17 pounds of strawberries from a morning at the pick your own berry patch, you have to do something. And you have to do it fast! I started to can the strawberry jam, but quickly saw that if I continued on the canning path to use up all the strawberries that I'd be up all night. While I did can many jars of strawberry jam, I needed a "quicker" alternative to help us get through all the strawberries. This No Sugar Freezer Jam was the answer!

Yield 4 8 ounce containers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 lbs strawberries, hulled and stems removed

Steps:

  • Mash the strawberries in a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the apple juice and pectin to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
  • Pour straight into the mashed strawberries and stir hard for 1 minute.

Time 2h45m

Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 cups crushed plums, peaches, or nectarines (about 3 pounds fruit), any bruised spots cut away
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup (1.75 ounces) powdered, no-sugar-needed pectin

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash, rinse, and dry seven 8-ounce plastic freezer or glass jars with tight-fitting lids. You can also use zip-top freezer bags.
  • In a medium pot, combine fruit and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high.
  • In a bowl, whisk together sugar and pectin; add to fruit, stirring until sugar mixture dissolves and fruit returns to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  • Transfer to jars or bags, leaving a 1/2-inch space on top. Seal and let sit at room temperature until jam is set, 2 to 3 hours. To store, freeze, up to 6 months. To thaw jam, transfer to the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 40 g

Tips:

  • Use ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter the jam will be, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Choose natural sweeteners: If you want to add a bit of sweetness, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia instead of refined sugar.
  • Add pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps jam set. If your fruit is low in pectin, you can add commercial pectin or use a fruit high in pectin, such as apples or citrus fruits.
  • Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of fruit and the amount of pectin. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam, or do a spoon test.
  • Store the jam properly: Once the jam is made, store it in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Making no-sugar freezer jam is a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer fruit all year long. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, waffles, or pancakes, or using as a filling for pies and pastries. So next time you have a bounty of fresh fruit, give no-sugar freezer jam a try!
