Author Notes: Who knew making jam was so easy??? To be honest canning scares me – boiling bottles, sealing yada, yada, yada…not for me. BUT freezer jam is beyond easy – crush, stir, pour, done. Easy peasy.
Of course, freezer jam can’t sit in your pantry because it is not properly sealed but it is great to make small batches of jam – keep a few jars for your family and give away the others to deserving friends!
This jam has not only sweet, delicious raspberries but also a hit of lime zest which adds an amazing citrus zing to the jam. —Ceecee Lee
