Strawberry Freezer Jam
Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam is a sweet and chunky jam that you can make quickly and enjoy for up to a year! Once you see how easy it is to make this strawberry jam, you will never buy it from a store again!
Ingredients
- 1 quart 2 cups crushed ripe strawberries, washed and stemmed
- 4 cup sugar
- 1 package fruit pectin I use Sure Jell; I don’t even think I’ve seen a different brand
- 3/4 cup water
- 8- ounce freezer-safe containers
Instructions
- Wash and dry the freezer-safe containers and set aside.
- With a potato masher or in a food processor, mash the berries, leaving some chunks. Measure out 2 cup of berries into a large bowl. Stir in exactly 4 cup sugar and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- While the berries and sugar are co-mingling, whisk the pectin into 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir into strawberry mixture for 3 minutes or until sugar is almost entirely dissolved.
- Ladle the jam into the prepared containers, leaving about 1/2″ at the top for expansion. Top with lids and allow to stand for 24 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 1 year. Makes 5, 8-oz. containers.
