Strawberry Freezer Jam

I always feel like it is officially summer when I can make my strawberry freezer jam. It is bursting with flavor and amazing on just about anything. The best part about this strawberry freezer jam is that you don’t need all the canning equipment. You can make it with just a few freezer safe containers.

In under an hour you will have a delicious strawberry jam that your whole family will love. You can store the containers in the freezer to enjoy this great taste of summer all year-long.

You will need about two pounds of fresh strawberries. Wash the strawberries and then cut the stems off.

Place the strawberries in a blender or a food processor. I blend mine until they are a purée, however if you like a few chunks you may want to just pulse your food processor a few times.

Measure out 2 cups of the strawberry purée and place in a bowl. The rest you will not be using.

Mix 1 package of pectin, 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water in a large pot. Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until boiling. Cook for one minute and then remove from heat.

Add pectin mix to the strawberries and stir for one minute. At this point, I switch the strawberry jam to a bowl with an easy pour spout.

Transfer the jam to containers, remembering to leave 1/2 inch at the top if you are freezing. You can use any kind of freezer safe containers.
