Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam

I love strawberries! The hubs knows me well, and brought home a box of real North Carolina Strawberries. So, what do I do? Make strawberry jam of course! It was easy.  We got the recipe off a Pectin box and in less than 30 minutes we had sweet, delicious strawberry jam!

This is the best jam and this recipe made enough for me to fill five 8 ounce containers.  In just a few minutes I made plenty of jam to last my family an entire year!  The fresh ripe fruit keep their great color and bring summer to life in your kitchen no matter what season you are in.  This is a must try recipe that your family will love!

What you need to Make Strawberry Jam:

Only 5 simple ingredients to make the most amazing strawberry jam ever.  The sugar brings out the natural flavor of the fresh strawberries and the pectin will bind with the sugar to make a gel.  The diced strawberries and sweet gel are indescribably good together and you will be loading this jam on everything you make!

• Ripe strawberries: Wash, remove stems, then crush.
• Sugar: Adds sweetness and pulls out juice from strawberries.
• Fruit pectin: I use Sure Jell; I don’t even think I’ve seen a different brand.
• Water: To thin out the jam a bit.
• Freezer-safe containers: 8 oz containers are the perfect size.

1. Prepare containers: Wash and dry the freezer-safe containers then set aside.
2. Mash Strawberries: With a potato masher or in a food processor, mash the berries, leaving some chunks then measure out 2 c. of the berries into a large bowl.
3. Add sugar: Stir in exactly 4 c. sugar and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
4. Boil Pectin then combine with strawberries: While the berries and sugar are co-mingling, whisk the pectin into 3/4 c. 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.
5. Store finished jam: 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.
