Freezer Jam! Never heard of it before reading your piece via LifeHacker.

We Jam Up here in the UK reasonably often so this is revolutionary news.
One question… Does freezer jam eventually become stable at room temperature or does it have to be stored in the freezer until it is time to eat?

Glad I could spread the good word. :)

Freezer jam never becomes stable enough to be stored at room temp. You can keep it in the fridge for two weeks, but for longer than that it really needs to be frozen.

Great article, Steph!
My mother used to make freezer jams and chutney for decades and I can attest that it’s the only way to preserve the flavors of summer!
Thanks for the reminders!

Nice! Sounds like a great memory. :) My family never made jam, so I’m totally paving the way in our clan.

I commented on NPR too. Great article! I just got my feet wet with heat canning and I am hooked.

I have made strawberry freezer jam for years! It has such a nice fresh taste, and freezes “indefinitely” – but chances are you will eat it up in no time!
