Steps:

• Prepare and clean your jars. You will need 3-4 pint jars or a combination of jars that will allow for 6-7 cups of jam between them.

• Let jars sit without lids until completely cooled.
• Once cooled clean tops and add lids, then allow jars or containers to sit out for 24 hours before freezing the jam.
