Blackberry Freezer Jam

Now this is how you make jam! No cooking and no canning! It used up some of the blackberries that we have running out our ears. For this super easy recipe, you'll need:

3 cups crushed blackberries
5 1/4 c. sugar
1 box powdered fruit pectin
3/4 c. water
Mash berries until you have enough for 3 cups (not 3 cups whole berries). Add all of the sugar, stir, and wait 10 minutes. Mix pectin and water together and pour into berries. Stir a few minutes and...

You have made blackberry freezer jam! Pour the jam into sterilized jars or freezer containers and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours until set, then send them on their way to the freezer! This recipe made enough for 3 jelly jars and two larger jars.

I'll be making a yummy blackberry cobbler this weekend for a cookout, so be sure to check it out once I get pics of it! Seriously, we pick a whole cool whip container or more full every other day, so I'm trying to find different ways to use them up- unfortunately, no one seems to want to take just the berries.
