I've wondered about this, is jam from frozen frozen fruit and less tasty than jam from fresh fruit (assuming both are home grown)? Like Diane, we have more time in the winter months, and it's easier on the utility bills, to can in the winter. Obviously, for fresh eating, fresh fruit is much tastier than fruit that's been frozen and thawed, but does it work the same for fruit used for jams?

If I can afford the freezer space I often do this as many of the fruit that I grow come ripe at the height of hurricane season or I may just simply be too busy to attend to it right then.

It's become so hard to find good quality fresh ripe peaches around here that I've gone over to just buying frozen fruit and I've had several people compliment me on how good it tastes. Of course I make a lower sugar type of jam so there's less sweetener to mask the fruit flavor.
