Strawberry Freezer Jam

Homemade jam is the only jam I can eat. Because once I tasted it, there was no turning back to store bought jam. Ever. Especially when this is so easy to make. Strawberries were on sale for $6 a flat. A flat! So I bought some and made strawberry pancakes, strawberry julius, and strawberry shortcake. And this jam. Three ingredients are all you need for the homemade goodness that is this jam. Anyone can make it. So what are you waiting for?

Strawberry Freezer Jam

Strawberries

Sugar

Pectin

First, get this pectin:

Then follow the directions on the back of the package. No cooking involved. Just stirring.

Wash and cut the tops of 4 cups of strawberries (Measure after blending. Two pounds usually equals 4 cups of blended strawberries) and place in a blender. Blend them up to the constistancy you like.

Mix the sugar called for and one package of pectin in a large bowl.

Add the strawberries to the sugar and pectin mixture.

Stir for 3 minutes constantly. Pour into freezer containers of your choice. I save my peanut butter jars and use them. Leave about 1/2 an inch of headspace.

And let them stand for 30 minutes before freezing or refrigerating.
