One summer I had way too much fresh fruit and had to come up with some way to use it. I found a recipe and gave it a tweak. I think you will enjoy this no cook summer freezer jam. It will give you the feeling of summer time long into the winter. As this is a no cook freezer jam the texture is different than the kind of jam that is cooked on the stove.
