Why Freezer Jam Rocks (Plus, A Delicious Blueberry Jam recipe)

What is freezer jam? Well, it’s similar to cooked jam, except that instead of being cooked and processed to a shelf-stable state, freezer jam is raw and is simply stored in the freezer.

It’s super-duper easy, and I think that the resulting product is something like 1000 times tastier than the canned counterpart. The fruit flavor is so much more authentic.
