Baked Alaska Project: Rose Hip & Raspberry Freezer Jam

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries, washed and stems removed
  • 1 cup dried rose hips, steeped in hot water and pureed
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 packet of fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell)
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. To begin, prepare your rose hips by steeping them in hot water for about 15 minutes. Once softened, puree them until smooth and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh raspberries and the rose hip puree. Crush the raspberries gently with a fork to release their juices.
  3. Add the sugar to the berry mixture, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. It’s important to let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. In a separate saucepan, mix the lemon juice and the 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Stir in the fruit pectin and continue to cook according to the package directions, usually for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and gently combine the warm pectin with the berry and sugar mixture, stirring well to combine.
  7. Pour the jam into clean, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for expansion. Seal with lids and let sit at room temperature for about 24 hours to set.
  8. Once set, store the freezer jam in the freezer for up to a year or in the fridge for up to a month once opened.
