A couple months ago I received an email from one of my favorite wine companies, Barefoot Wine, asking if I’d be interested in developing some recipes for their website using their wine. Seriously, you guys, I love their moscato so much I demanded it be one of the wines served at our wedding reception. So at first I was all “Are ya sure you have the right person?” Then I was all “Make recipes with wine? You definitely found your girl.”
As a kid, I spent many summers picking strawberries with my mom and grandma. Then we’d head home and make homemade strawberry freezer jam. So it was fitting that I make jam– mixed berry and pink moscato jam, to be exact.
I went with a freezer berry jam recipe because it’s pretty simple. There’s no cooking or intense canning involved. The whole process took less than an hour, and in the end I had eight 8 ounce jars of jam.
Let’s jump into the recipe, shall we?
For this berry jam recipe you’ll need 1 pound strawberries, 1 pound blueberries, 12 oz. raspberries, 2 cups sugar, 12 Tbsp. instant pectin, and 1/3 c. Barefoot Pink Moscato.
Stir 2 cups sugar and 12 Tbsp. instant pectin in a bowl. Set aside.
Chop up the fruit in a food processor. Be careful not to puree the fruit too much. A couple pushes of the pulse button will do.
Stir in 1/3 cup of Barefoot Pink Moscato into the fruit mixture.
Add sugar and pectin mixture.
Stir for 3 minutes.
Pour jam into clean freezer jars, leaving at least 1/2 inch of space from the top of the jar to allow for food expansion during freezing. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
The jam will last up to 1 year in the freezer and 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
This berry jam recipe yields 64 ounces (8- 8 oz. jars).
The jam is delicious. Really, how can you go wrong with berries and wine?
Brad has been having it on his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (we’re super classy adults), and he’s definitely a fan.

July 3, 2013 at 8:52 AMI will be making jam today but not using sugar or pectin. I am using chia seeds and honey. A new recipe I found that echos the healthy trend (no sugar, salt or oil) going around. Hope it’s good!
Adding wine sounds like a good idea. mmmm

July 3, 2013 at 11:07 AMThere’s a local winery in the DFW area that has the BEST summer wines. My favorite is one that’s made w green apples and has the lightest, freshest summer flavor. Siiiighhhhh. I miss wine.
Chelsea @ two twenty one says

July 3, 2013 at 2:22 PMAre you kidding?! Why did I not think of adding wine to jam before?! You just changed my life! It looks so yummy!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 6:51 PMI kid you not. Life. Changing. 🙂
Zainab says
July 3, 2013 at 4:49 PMWhat a great idea to add the pink moscato to the jam!! You know that’s my favorite one since I spied it on IG months ago! Love Barefoot and it was the only wine of choice at my wedding too 🙂 Love this recipe.
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 6:55 PMIsn’t it the best?! I converted some wedding guests into Barefoot moscato drinkers at our wedding– including Brad’s elderly next door neighbors. Cracked me up.
Peggy Sullivan says
July 3, 2013 at 6:45 PMIf I leave now I could prolly make it in time for breakfast….? Or I could stay home and use your recipe. So many choices!!! I love making freezer jam. And I love Muscato wine. I also love dry Riesling so maybe I will try that combo. We have some truly fabulous fruit farms around here. I will report back 🙂 Hope all is well with you three.
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 6:57 PMHah, Peggy! Riesling sounds delicious. Let me know how it turns out!

July 8, 2013 at 12:21 PMThat sounds yummy! But, really, I could just go for the moscato. =)
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 7:04 PMThanks, Kim! I recommend drinking moscato while you eat the jam.
Erin @ How to Nest for Less says

Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 7:06 PMIt IS delicious. But I’m biased.

Tiffany says
July 9, 2013 at 9:01 AMThat looks like a great way to start the day. Or end the day. I never would have thought to use wine in jam. Great idea!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 7:07 PMThanks, Tiffany! Gives you an excuse to have a little wine anytime of the day, right? 🙂
Aimee @ ShugarySweets says

July 9, 2013 at 5:39 PMI’m not a big fan of jam but I am a fan of wine. Maybe I’ll have wine with the jam and convince myself I like jam. Looks tasty though!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 7:20 PMSounds like a good plan to me.
Danielle says
July 9, 2013 at 8:17 PMYUM! This sounds amazing! Just one question…after you let the jam sit for 30 minutes, do you then freeze it?
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 10, 2013 at 8:54 AMYep!
Michelle S says
July 11, 2013 at 3:31 PMThis looks wonderful! Question though, if you make this later in the year when there arent fresh berries, would you drain the frozen berries before you make it? Would it be to runny then?
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
July 11, 2013 at 7:21 PMYeah, I’d drain the frozen berries. If it’s too runny you’d need to add a little more pectin.
Fawn says
July 15, 2014 at 8:19 PMI don’t have a lot of freezer space. Can I can this in a hot water bath!
Sarah says
