Benefits of Using Frozen Berries

Convenience: Available year-round, eliminating the seasonal constraints of fresh berries.
Quality: Flash-frozen at peak ripeness to lock in taste and nutrients.
Versatility: Ideal for jams, jellies, smoothies, and more.

Ingredients You’ll Need

4 cups Yarofruit’s frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
1 package of pectin (such as Pomona Pectin for flexibility with sugar)
4 cups sugar (adjust based on pectin instructions)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon butter (optional, to reduce foaming)

Tools Required

Large saucepan
Wooden spoon
Measuring cups
Mason jars with lids
Canning funnel (optional)
Ladle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Berries

Start by slightly thawing your Yarofruit frozen berries. This makes measuring easier and ensures they blend smoothly.

2. Measure Ingredients

Using Yarofruit’s frozen berries means you can easily measure out 4 cups directly from the bag, maintaining accuracy for your recipe.

3. Cook the Mixture

In a large saucepan, combine the berries and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries break down and release their juices.
If you prefer a smoother jelly, mash the berries with a potato masher or use a hand blender.

4. Add Pectin and Sugar

Stir in the pectin and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
Add sugar all at once, stirring constantly to dissolve.
Return to a full boil for about 1-2 minutes.

5. Remove Foam

To ensure a clear jelly, add a teaspoon of butter to reduce foaming.

6. Jar the Jelly

Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized Mason jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
Wipe jar rims and seal with lids.

7. Process the Jars

Place the jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes to seal properly.
Remove and let them cool completely. You should hear the lids “pop,” indicating a proper seal.

Tips for Perfect Jelly Every Time

Don’t Overload Your Freezer: When flash-freezing more berries, avoid adding too many at once to maintain optimal freezing conditions.
Use the Right Pectin: Yarofruit recommends Pomona Pectin for its versatility with different sugar levels.
Sterilize Jars Properly: Ensuring your jars are clean prevents contamination and prolongs shelf life.

Storing Your Homemade Jelly

Store your homemade berry jelly in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and use within a few weeks for the best flavor.
