Summer is a time for stocking up on fresh berries, peaches, and other tasty fruits. But what happens when you have too much extra summer produce? There are only so many fruit pies and cobblers that one can make! And that's where these homemade jam recipes will come in handy! Not only are they a great way to preserve fruits that are in season, but they're also a delicious way to upgrade your average breakfast toast! Whether it's raspberry, rhubarb, or blueberry-mint, these jam recipes will add a pop of sweetness when swirled into yogurt, spooned over skillet cornbread, or used to top a simple cheesecake.
The best part is that many of these jam recipes don't require canning! Of course, if you want to try your hand at canning, Ree Drummond has a few simple steps, but you can also also make a quick freezer jam or even an Instant Pot jam to keep things easy. All you need is your favorite fruit, sugar, and a little something called pectin to make your jam from scratch. Along with sweet jams, jelly, and preserves, there's even a savory tomato jam that’s perfect for sandwich spreads or paired with cheese on a charcuterie board. On top of that, homemade jams make a lovely little hostess gift. All you need is a basket full of muffins or bagels, a jar of homemade jam, and the recipe printed out to share with friends!

Rhubarb Jam
This jam is more of a preserve since it doesn't contain pectin and you can even make it with either fresh or frozen rhubarb stalks! It's so simple!
Berry Chia Jam
Chia seeds are a magical ingredient that can transform almost any berry into a jammy texture. The seeds absorb the fruit juices so you don't need pectin to make this jam. Plus, when mixed with yogurt or oatmeal, it's a healthy way to start the day!
Red Pepper Jam
This jam is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! It's delicious with goat cheese on crackers or spread onto a turkey and cheese sandwich!
