Easy Strawberry Freezer Jam
I grew up making this with wild strawberries we picked along the branch near our house. When my children were much younger, we visited the U-Pick farms to make our jam and ate them straight from the bucket all the way home!

Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed or pulsed in food processor strawberries
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 1.59-ounce pouch powdered fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- I like to pulse the hulled strawberries in the food processer rather than mash them. It saves so much time and I’m assured a piece of strawberry in every bite of jam. Just remember, pulse to look coarsely chopped-not pureed.Combine strawberries and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, combine pectin and water in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Gradually add pectin mixture to strawberries, stirring well. Stir 3 minutes or until sugar is almost dissolved.
- Spoon strawberry mixture into plastic or glass 1-cup freezer jars. Wipe rims and cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature overnight. Freeze until firm. Store in freezer.Thaw in refrigerator before serving.
