Easy Strawberry Freezer Jam Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed strawberries about 1 quart of whole strawberries
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 box powdered fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Stir strawberries (already mashed) and sugar together, mixing thoroughly. Set aside.
- Stir powdered fruit pectin with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute.
- Stir mixtures together until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy. Pour into clean dry containers, filling to within 1/2 inch of tops.
- Cover at once with tight lids. Let stand at room temperature overnight. (We did it for about 12 hours.) Store in freezer until opened; then store in refrigerator.
Notes
Measure sugar exactly and do not reduce amount or jam will not set properly.
I have included an alternate method that doesn't involve any cooking/boiling below.
