The finished and jarred Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam

Simple Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam


  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: 5-6 cups of jam 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of washed, hulled, quartered strawberries
  • 4 cups of sugar
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 1 3oz pouch of liquid pectin

Instructions

  1. Place prepared strawberries in a medium sized bowl and mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon to release juice and crush the berries. (4 cups of berries should crush to about 2 cups) Stir sugar into crushed berries until thoroughly mixed. (DO NOT reduce the amount of sugar).
  2. Put the bowl with the sugar and berry mixture into the microwave. Cook at 70% power for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside
  3. In separate, smaller bowl, stir together lemon juice and liquid pectin.
  4. Pour the pectin mixture into the strawberry mixture. Stir constantly for a full three minutes. (It’s a good idea to set a timer.)
  5. Pour the jam into clean jars or plastic containers, filling to ½ inch from the top. Place lids on the filled containers. Let the jam set up at room temperature for 24 hours before storing in the freezer or refrigerator.
  6. Freezer jam is good for up to one year if stored in freezer. Opened jam can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
