My first experiences with food preservation as an adult was making homemade freezer jam. There are many things that make freezer jam appealing. It requires no special equipment, it’s fast and easy and because it is not cooked it preserves that fresh fruit taste. Also, it uses less sugar so in some small way I think it’s healthier. Apricot freezer jam is a nice base for many sweet recipes. I like to use it in my wraps and as a part of marinades.


Most freezer jam recipes contain only three or four ingredients and require 15 minutes or less for preparation. It’s a simple process: peel, chop, mix and freeze. The safety and simplicity of freezer jam makes it a perfect project to teach your children and those first learning to preserve food.


Making freezer jam is easy so let’s dive right in and get started. Before you know it, your freezer will be full of delicious jam that the kids and family will love.

Ingredients:

  1. 4 Cups of crushed or blended Apricots

  2. 3 Cups Granulated Sugar

  3. 5 TBSP Ball RealFruit Instant Pectin

  4. 3 TBSP Lemon Juice

Recipe for Apricot Freezer Jam:

A colander filled with orange apricots is under a stream of water, being rinsed in a stainless steel sink. Bright, fresh mood.
  • Wash and pit the apricots.

    Blender with apricot puree and slices on a red base, beside a bowl of apricot halves, on a speckled countertop.
  • Blend or crush 4 cups of apricots. Set aside.

    Hands mixing flour in a metal bowl on a speckled countertop. The action suggests baking preparation. No visible text or distinct colors.

    Blender with red liquid and a metal bowl of sugar on a speckled countertop. A hand reaches toward the bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice and sugar mixture to the blender or bowl of the crushed apricots blend or stir until well mixed.

    Hand pouring orange liquid from blender into a small container on a speckled countertop. Bright green container beside it.
  • Pour jam mixture into plastic freezer containers, leaving ½ inch headspace. Adjust caps.
