Strawberry-Passion Fruit Freezer Jam

Passion fruit lends this jam extra acidity as well as a delightful, crunchy texture. — Camilla Wynne

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, (300 g)

  • 1 45-g pkg freezer jam pectin

  • 3 1/2 cups crushed hulled strawberries, (about 850 g)

  • 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp, (about 5 passion fruit)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Whisk sugar with pectin in a large bowl.

  • Add strawberries, passion fruit pulp, lemon juice and salt. Stir constantly until sugar and pectin dissolve, about 3 min.

  • Ladle jam into 5 clean 250-mL jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Let stand, uncovered, until thickened, about 30 min.

  • Cap jars with clean lids. Freeze for up to 1 year. Let thaw for at least 30 min before serving, and then refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 weeks.

What are the main differences between traditional, freezer and chia jam?

Traditional jam involves sterilizing jars in a hot water bath; it can be stored, unopened, for at least a year in the pantry. Freezer jam often uses pectin as a thickener, and must be stored in the fridge or freezer. Chia jam can be refrigerated or frozen, although not for as long as freezer jam.

Do I really need a kitchen scale to make jam?

Weight is the most precise measurement, which is crucial when it comes to measuring fruit or sugar. I highly recommend picking up an affordable digital scale for the best possible results.
