It’s called Freezer-friendly Fruit Juice, Jelly, but it’s fine for the refrigerator too. Like our Sugar-free Freezer Fruit Jam (see index), it’s a fast and easy way for anyone to dip their toes into the world of food preservation and jamming. What makes it even easier than a jam? No need for fresh, prepared fruit! Just pick your favorite juice and start cooking.
