Tips For Making No Cook Raspberry Lime Freezer Jam
- You can adjust the texture from chunky to smooth by blending it more or less... If you want it really smooth then blend the Ultra Gel into the puree. instead of whisking it in.
- You do not have to use sugar or sweetener at all if you do not want to. Likewise, you can without the maple syrup for honey, erythritol, or other natural sweetener.
- You can use any citric acid source you like, in this recipe I use lime juice. But, you can also use lemon juice or citric acid powder if you only want the raspberry flavor.
- Make your freezer jam thicker by adding a tablespoon more of the Ultra Gel till it is as thick as you want it. And vice versa, you can make your jam thinner by reducing the recipe a tablespoon at a time.
- Store in airtight freezer container till you are ready to use.
- You can thaw on counter or use the microwave if you're in a hurry.
- Use thawed raspberry lime freezer jam within two weeks of opening and store in the refrigerator.
Can I Use Lime in Raspberry Jam?
Yes... Lime pairs perfectly with raspberries in jam! Traditionally lemon is used in jam making. However, Raspberry lime is a wonderful flavor combination that will tantalize your taste buds! If you haven't tried it yet, you may be on the verge of a new favorite!

Pour your mixture into a mixing bowl and add the Ultra Gel. Whisk together till well incorporated and there are no lumps.
If you like jam ultra smooth, add the Ultra Gel to the blender or food processor and continue till well incorporated.
Let your freezer jam rest at this point for 3-5 minutes to set up.
Now you can spoon your raspberry lime freezer jam into your freezer safe jelly jars or containers. Make sure to leave at least a ½ inch head space if using jars.
Freezer jam will expand a bit when it freezes and your jar will break if you fill it all the way.
