Ball Instant Pectin Strawberry Freezer Jam Recipe

First things first, let’s feast our eyes on those luscious strawberries. Just imagine your fridge stocked with jars of this heavenly creation, waiting to be slathered on everything from bread to bagels. It’s time to make that dream a reality!

Ingredients

2 cups crushed strawberries (about 2 1/2 quarts whole strawberries)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup Ball Instant Pectin
1/4 cup lemon juice (optional, to enhance the flavor)
Containers for storing your jam (preferably freezer-safe)

Instructions

First, gather your star ingredients. You want strawberries that are so ripe they practically burst into song when you pick them. Crush them using a potato masher or your superhero hands – whatever works best!
Once your strawberries are appropriately squished, mix in the granulated sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the sugar to mingle with the strawberries, creating a sweet union.
Now, get ready to add the magic dust! Sprinkle the Ball Instant Pectin into your strawberry mixture and stir it like you’re mixing up a potion. Don’t forget to add that lemon juice if you’re feeling zesty!
Stir it for a full three minutes until everything is well combined. Let it sit for another five minutes to allow the pectin to work its charm.
Next, grab your freezer-safe containers and ladle your jam into them. Leave a bit of space at the top because jam expands when it freezes, sort of like my waistband after the holidays!
Seal those containers and pop them in the freezer. Your jam will be ready to go in about 24 hours, but who are we kidding? You might need to sneak a spoonful before that!

So there you have it: a delightful strawberry freezer jam that will elevate your breakfast game and make you feel like a kitchen wizard. Enjoy your creation and spread the joy (and jam) to your loved ones!
