Notes
Steps to Making Strawberry Freezer Jam
- First, wash and hull strawberries.
- Next, place strawberries in a large bowl and mash well. You can also use a food processor and pulse a few times, but don't do it too much, you don't want it pureed or it won't set. Measure exactly 2 cups of mashed strawberries for the recipe.
- Add sugar to the strawberry mixture and stir well.
- Prepare pectin by boiling with water in a small saucepan.
- Pour pectin mixture into strawberries and stir well with a large spoon.
- Finally, fill up some freezer-safe containers or mason jars with the delicious jam, and allow to set for 24 hours before refrigerating or freezing.
