Silly question but is it okay to use frozen fruit (defrosted) to make jams and jellies or do you have to use fresh produce?

I always use frozen fruit for my jams and wines. In fact the last batch I made last year was called Freezer Bottom BlendLast edited by Two_Sheds; 16-06-2011, 04:48 PM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb. -
Absolutely fine. In fact I have to store my raspberries in the freezer cos I never get enough in one pick to make jam.Comment

Fantastic news. We froze 3lbs of blackcurrents yesterday but there must be another 3/4lbs on the bushes. Didn't want to use them straight away while we work out what the best recipes are for us. We've decided on blackcurrent jelly and apple and blackcurrent leather but of course the apples are not ready yet, hence freezing them.
Thanks so much for the replies.Comment

Yep - it's not just possible but necessary - unless you have an enormous supply of jars!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I stewed some plums last year and then froze them. Made some jam from them a couple of weeks ago . Defrosted them then added the same weight in sugar . Worked well.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig
a batch of jam is always an act of creation ..Christine Ferber
