Cherry Lemony Freezer Jam – Liquid Pectin

Lemon zest livens up this sweet spread made with Liquid Pectin and crushed fruit. It is an easy, sweet fruit spread with no cooking required. Store these soft-set spreads in the freezer or refrigerator. Do not decrease sugar; doing so may result in gel failure. For freezer jams with less sugar (higher ratio of fruit to sugar), use BERNARDIN® Freezer Jam Pectin sold in 45 g pouches.
