24 hrsCapture the essence of peak-season raspberries without ever firing up a stove for a full canning session.
This freezer jelly method uses Certo liquid pectin to set fresh raspberry juice and sugar into a bright, jewel-toned spread that tastes like summer in a jar.
Squeeze your own juice through cheesecloth, stir in the sugar and pectin, pour into containers, and let it set overnight at room temperature before tucking it into the freezer.
Chef Tips
- Do not reduce the sugar; it’s essential for the pectin to gel properly
- For the clearest jelly, use extra fruit and let the juice drip through the cheesecloth without squeezing
- Thaw frozen jelly in the refrigerator overnight and use within three weeks once opened
- Use fully ripe, deeply colored berries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness

Using liquid measure, measure the amount of prepared juice To measured juice in bowl, add the exact amount of sugar specified. DO NOT REDUCE sugar. Sugar is critical for the set.
