Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe strawberries, washed and stemmed
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 (1.75-ounce) package fruit pectin I use Sure-Jell
  • ¾ cup water
  • 5 (8-ounce) jars or freezer-safe containers

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the freezer-safe containers and set aside.
  • With a potato masher or in a food processor, mash 2 pounds ripe strawberries, leaving some chunks. Measure out 2 cups of berries into a large bowl. Stir in 4 cups granulated sugar. Allow the mashed berries to stand for 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, add 1 (1.75-ounce) package fruit pectin and ¾ cup water and whisk to combine. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and stir for 1 minute.
  • Pour the pectin mixture in the strawberry mixture and stir for 3 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Ladle the jam into 5 (8-ounce) jars or freezer-safe containers, leaving about ½ inch 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.
