My raspberry-blackberry freezer jam won a Blue Ribbon at the 2012 Tillamook County Fair! Unfortunately - for those wanting to make it - it never turns out the same way twice. :)
Raspberry-Blackberry Freezer Jam
Enough crushed raspberries and blackberries to make 3 1/4 cups crushed berries (see how scientific I am? lol)
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 box MCP pectin (my favorite)
Measure exact amount of fruit in large bowl. Add in lemon juice. Mix well. Gradually stir in 1 box pectin. Mix thoroughly. Set aside 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to dissolve pectin thoroughly.
Pour in 1 cup corn syrup. Mix well. This prevents sugar crystallization during freezer storage. Stir in sugar gradually. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Pour into prepared jars or containers. I use both. Leave 1/2 inch headspace for freezer expansion. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours until set. Place containers in freezer.
