Sweet, Sweet Strawberries!

First things first, let’s appreciate this luscious fruit. Strawberries are the stars of this show, and they want to be treated right. Grab some fresh strawberries, and let’s get jamming!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

4 cups crushed strawberries (about 2 quarts fresh strawberries)
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 box (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
½ cup water
Optional: A splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick!

Let’s Get Jammin’:

Now that we have all the ingredients gathered, it’s time to get down to business. Follow these simple steps:

Start by washing and hulling those gorgeous strawberries. You can either crush them with a fork or use a potato masher. The goal is to get 4 cups of crushed strawberries.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed strawberries and the sugar. Mix them well and let them sit for 10 minutes. This step allows the strawberries to release their natural juices. Yum!
While you’re fantasizing about strawberry-filled mornings, mix the fruit pectin and water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens. This takes about 1 minute.
Now, pour the boiling pectin mixture into your strawberries while stirring vigorously. Continue to mix for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar is fully dissolved. No graininess allowed!
Pour the mixture into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Don’t forget to label your jars; “Delicious Strawberry Jam” just won’t cut it!
Let the jars sit at room temperature for about 24 hours until the jam sets. After that, simply store them in the freezer or your fridge if you plan to devour them soon!

Enjoy Your Creation!

There you have it, friends! You’ve made your very own Strawberry Freezer Jam, and now it’s time to toast to your culinary prowess! Spread it on toast, swirl it in yogurt, or eat it by the spoonful (no judgment here!). Happy jamming!
