Strawberry Freezer Jam

You just can't beat homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam, it's so much better than store bought jams and jellies.

Author: Kami - NoBiggie.net
Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Pureed Strawberries (about 1 qt of strawberries) washed and hulled
  • 4 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Water
  • 1 packet Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin
Instructions

  1. Prepare the mason jars or the containers to store the jam by rinsing them in hot water and drying them well before you use them.

  2. In a large bowl mix together the pureed strawberries with the sugar.  Stir for 5 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes longer.
  3. In a small sauce pan set on high heat, whisk together the water and the pectin.  Bring this mixture to a boil for one minute.
  4. Pour this hot mixture all over the pureed strawberries and stir it all together for 5 minutes until completely combined.
  5. Fill the jars while the mixture is still warm.

  6. When filling the jars, leave about a 1/2 inch head space at the top of each jar for possible expansion in the freezer.

  7. Screw the lids onto the jars. Let the filled jars sit at room temp for 24 hours before placing them into the freezer.
  8. When ready to use your freezer jam, move a jar of jam to the fridge for 24 hours to thaw out.
Recipe Notes

The jam stores in the freezer for 3-6 months, and in the fridge for up to 1 month.
