Ingredients

Here’s what you’re gonna need to make this jam:

2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed
1/4 cup of lemon juice (fresh is best!)
1 package (1.75 oz) Sure Jell fruit pectin
5 cups of granulated sugar
1 cup of water

Instructions

Alright, let’s get that jam cooking!

Start by prepping your strawberries. Rinse them well, remove the stems, and mash them up in a big bowl. You want to get about 2 cups of mashed berries – feel free to leave some chunks if you like your jam a little rustic!
In a separate pot, combine the water and the package of Sure Jell. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring it until it dissolves completely.
Once that’s done, add in your mashed strawberries along with the lemon juice. Stir it all together until it’s nice and smooth.
Now, here comes the sugar! Gradually stir in the granulated sugar, mixing it well until everything is dissolved. Let this mixture stand for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, pour the jam into clean containers. Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top because the jam will expand as it freezes. Seal them up tight!
Pop those jars into the freezer. Wait about 24 hours for them to set and freeze properly. Once they’re good and ready, you can store the jam in the freezer for up to a year, or take out a jar and let it chill in the fridge for a few days. You’re gonna love it on toast, pancakes, or even straight off the spoon!

And there you have it, folks! A simple and sweet recipe that brings all the joy of summer into your kitchen. Enjoy your homemade strawberry freezer jam!
