Made some yummy looking freezer jam and some dill pickles today! Can’t wait to try them! The jam I will be putting into the freezer tomorrow (has to sit at room temp for 24 hours) and the pickles will be ready to eat in 1 week.
Relatively low cost if you’re not including the hardware.
Freezer Jam
- 1-16oz bag of frozen strawberries = $2
- 4 cups of sugar = already had on hand
- 1 box of fruit pectin = $2.09
Yielded 2 and 1/2 pints of jam for under $5!

Dill Pickles
- 3 lbs of pickling cucumbers = $3.27
- Mustard seed = $2.69 (didn’t even use half the jar)
- Dill seed = $2.99 (used the whole jar)
- Canning salt = $1.99 (only used a very tiny portion of this!)
- Vinegar = $2.49 (again…only used a portion)
This yielded 6 pints of pickles!
