### FREEZER JAMS AND JELLIES

     Freezer jam is often called uncooked jam.   As noted by at

    least
    one manufacturer of pectin, a few sugar crystals  will

    remain
     in freezer jams.  Nothing can be  done  about  this.

     If freezer jam is too firm, stir to soften. If it tends to

    separate,
     stir to blend. If it is too soft, bring it  to  a

    boil.
     It will thicken on cooling.

    Store  uncooked jams in the refrigerator or freezer.  They

    can
    be held for up to four weeks in a refrigerator or up to

    a
    year in a freezer. If kept at room temperature, they  will

    mold
    or ferment in a short time. Once a container is opened,

    jam
     should be stored in the refrigerator.

     Freezer  jams can be made with powdered or liquid  pectin.

    Check
    commercial packages for the recipes.
