Strawberry Freezer Jam Recipe
This Strawberry Freezer Jam recipe is easy and delicious! It only requires four ingredients, and time on your side to create yummy jam!
Ingredients
- 4 cups granulated white sugar
- 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
- 3 ounces liquid fruit pectin I use one pouch of Certo
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Stem and slice strawberries. Don't try to use a blender or food processor for this step as you want some small pieces of strawberry to remain. (I like to use a potato masher).
- Measure 2 cups of the prepared fruit into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the 4 cups of sugar and stir well for 1 minute.
- Place the bowl in the microwave on high power for 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir well for another minute.
- Allow the strawberry mixture to sit for 2 hours, giving it a good stir about every 30 minutes. Take a taste to make sure the sugar is dissolved. If it still has a bit of a grainy texture, stir for another minute or two until the sugar is well dissolved. You want the mixture to deepen in color.
- Combine the liquid pectin and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add to strawberry mixture; stir for 3 minutes, no cheating, set a timer.
- Fill the glass or plastic containers to within ½ inch of the top. Don't fill any higher as the mixture will expand a bit in the freezer. Wipe off the top edges of containers and cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year. Thaw in the refrigerator.
