10 Easy Freezer Jam Recipes
Growing up, there was always a jar of homemade raspberry or rhubarb jam in the fridge. My mom’s garden was abundant with these fresh ingredients, and none was left to go to waste. Each summer, she stacked up jars of preserved deliciousness, in both fruit and vegetable form, in the makeshift canning pantry under the basement stairs. What a treat it always was in the dead of winter, to pop off the lid from a jar of her preserved applesauce, sweet cherries, green beans, or dill pickles. It was the very best grocery store around!
Thanks to the help of our oldest daughter, I have a collection of 10 Easy Freezer Jam Recipes to share with you.[rss-cut] Hatti likes to help out with the blog whenever she can, and has done a great job searching the internet for gorgeous fresh fruit jam recipes.
Why I Love Freezer Jams
Freezer jams are extremely easy to make, with no hot water bath canning process involved. So even if you’re nervous about creating your very first batch of jam, you really needn’t be. Making freezer jam is easy peasy, and you’ll be amazed by the super fresh fruit flavor. Please let me know if you give one of these recipes a try!

You inspired me to make 2 batches of jam last Saturday morning, the strawberry-rhubarb cardamom on your list and a co-worker’s rhubarb-fig marmalade (a la Fanny Farmer 1959 cookbook). One is in the freezer, the other was canned and sitting proudly in the pantry. Figs and rhubarb are an amazing combination. Thanks for the inspiration!
These are perfect! Can’t wait to try a few of them now that we are drowning in fruit over here .
I’d love to know if you try any of these!
Hooray for Freezer Jams! Jam on!
I love freezer jam! I finally have a big freezer so I can try some of these!
Wonderful roundup of jam recipes! Love it!
Boy Howdy is freezer jam in a class of it’s own. It really really does retain the true fruit flavor—-like frozen veggies retain the flavor over canned. However that is not to say that bottled jam is the same category as canned veggie. I like regular jam!
Freezer jam is the greatest idea ever! No time to stand over boiling water all day :)
Freezer jam! Even the name sounds summertime perfect. Thanks for this very delicious list. :)
I would be so lucky to have these jams in my freezer!
All of these jams look great! Thank you for including me :)
I want to try them all!
mmm…cinnamon nectarine and mango lime? Great list — thanks for including my strawberry basil, I’m honored!
Oh my Brenda, I am saying this out loud….I have never made jam before. It’s on my wish list to do. I will have to follow these lovely recipes as this all looks amazing! Was hoping to do so with strawberries from my garden, but the drought is killing my garden box.
Freezer jams are hands down, by far my most favorite, and that rhubarb with orange and cardamom has my name written all over it! Such a great round up!
These all look spectacular, Brenda! I don’t even know where to begin!
Why have I not tried freezer jam yet? These all look so great!
