Update to Blueberry Freezer Jam Recipe using Sure Jell
Hi Folks! I’m here on a random Thursday with a quick Jam PSA. I’ll bet that’s the first time you’ve ever heard a Jam Public Service Announcement. Am I right? 🙂
I made a new batch of blueberry freezer jam a couple of weeks ago and noticed the Sure Jell company change the recipe slightly.
As a reminder, I use the pink box of Sure Jell.
There used to be an extra cup of water in the recipe for the blueberry freezer jam. See…
Now, that extra water has been omitted. The scandal! Kidding! It’s a good thing. You can see the change on the newest recipe page included in the box of Sure Jell.
So, sometime in the last 6 months, the recipe has been modified. I tried it without the extra water and it set up perfectly. Plus, the blueberry flavor is much more intense now, which is a definite happy bonus. So, try it and let me know what you think!

Do you have the directions on what to do if your jam doesn’t set? I was unable to find Sure Jell Light anywhere! So I bought a 2# bag in bulk, and it didn’t set.

Hi! I’m sorry you are having trouble getting the jam to set.
I’m assuming you used enough pectin, but that’s the wild card here.
Jam is runny when it is warm, so making sure it has cooled enough or had long enough to set (hours) is important.
You can also put it in the freezer to try and get it to gel that way.
You can also reboil it for an extra couple of minutes.
There are instructions from the Sure Jell site here for remaking the jam: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/108040/surejell-freezer-jam-or-jelly-remake-directions
