I don't have enough jars, so is it able to be frozen or are there any other sorts of containers I can use.

Yes you can just put it in icecream containers. It wont set hard and you can scoop it out as you need it. Lid on the container though.

I do the same as samsnan. There's so much sugar in the jam, it really does freeze fairly soft and is easy to pour into jars as you need it.

I only freeze my jam now as it's so much less hassle. I too discovered the method when I had run out of jars...best thing ever as now I have more jars for pickles. Also saves alot of waste and you dont have to just have one 'flavour' until the jar is empty. you'll love it.

I make my jam up until the adding sugar stage and freeze it at that point. On lid I write 1.5kg strawberry jam need to add 1kg sugar. Or the amount of fruit/sugar ratio you normally use. I can then make into jam when I have the jars.

I keep raspberry jam in freezer as it much nicer & keeps its fresh taste, especially in baking.

how kewl so you make the jam as per a normal recipe, but in a container to freeze at the end rather than the jar?

Thank you everyone. Just bought 4 kilos of jam strawberries in wanganui. Not sure if 4 kilos will get as far as jam. They seem to be dissapearing before my eyes. LOL

that's right motorbo - make as per normal. Instead of bottling when hot into jars, wait til the jam has gone cold, then pour into icecream containers and freeze. (make sure you keep the containers upright though, as I have had a little leakage in the past, when the kids have tipped the contents of freezer upside down looking for real icecream and not jam!!)
