    strawberry freezer jam

    I always feel like it is officially summer when I can make my strawberry freezer jam. It is bursting with flavor and amazing on just about anything. The best part about this strawberry freezer jam is that you don't need all the canning equipment. You can make it with just a few freezer safe containers.

    In under an hour you will have a delicious strawberry jam that your whole family will love. You can store the containers in the freezer to enjoy this great taste of summer all year-long.

    You will need about two pounds of fresh strawberries. Wash the strawberries and then cut the stems off.

    Place the strawberries in a blender or a food processor. I blend mine until they are a purée, however if you like a few chunks you may want to just pulse your food processor a few times.

    Measure out 2 cups of the strawberry purée and place in a bowl. The rest you will not be using.

    Mix 1 package of pectin, 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water in a large pot. Cook on medium heat stirring constantly until boiling. Cook for one minute and then remove from heat.

    Add pectin mix to the strawberries and stir for one minute. At this point, I switch the strawberry jam to a bowl with an easy pour spout.

    Transfer the jam to containers, remembering to leave 1/2 inch at the top if you are freezing. You can use any kind of freezer safe containers.  I love the Ball Freezer Jars.

    Let containers cool on the counter for 24 hours and then place in either fridge or freezer. The strawberry freezer jam is good for about a month in the fridge or a year in the freezer.

    We love this jam on biscuits or to make peanut butter sandwiches. It is so delicious, there is no comparing this jam to store bought. You can save money over buying store bought and have a fantastic made at home flavor, too.

    Strawberry Freezer Jam

    2 lbs. of Strawberries
    4 Cups Sugar
    1 Package Pectin
    1 Cup of Water

    Start with about two pounds of fresh strawberries. Wash and discard strawberry stems. Place strawberries in a food processor or a blender. Blend until the desired consistency. Measure 2 cups of strawberry purée and place in a large bowl (you won't be using the rest of the purée). Mix 1 package pectin, 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water into a large pot. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute and then remove from heat. Add the pectin mix to the strawberry purée. Stir for one minute and then pour into freezer safe containers leaving 1/2 inch space at the top of each container. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Refrigerate up to one month or freeze up to one year.

      This sounds a looks great! My sister-in-law made freezer jam a few years back, and it was delicious. I'm so glad to have found your recipe! We have a "you-pick" strawberry patch just down the road from us. I can't wait to try this out!

        I love those "you pick" places. Have fun!

      I need to try this the next time I go to make jam. I tried the regular canning method and it was way to long for me. Thanks for linking at the #HomeMattersParty this week and hope you will come back next weekend to link up again.

      We have those very same ball containers. Love them! I haven't made freezer jam before, but this sounds easier than I was expecting. Putting it on the list!

      Thanks for sharing at #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup ...I've pinned and featured your post!

      How much pectin, ounces? Per 2 lbs of berries? The container I bought has 4 ounces.

      • Julie says

        I use the containers that are 1.75 ounces of pectin for about 2 pounds of strawberries.

      Where is Pectin in a typical grocery store?

      • Julie says

        June 28, 2016 at 2:26 pm

        I usually find it in the canning or baking section. Hope that helps.

      I love this recipe. I would love to freeze it but we just like it too much around here!

      I'd love to try this recipe! How many Ball Freezer containers does this recipe make?

      • Julie says

        July 04, 2016 at 10:51 am

        It will make around 32 ounces of Strawberry freezer jam. So if you have the ball freezer containers it will make about 4.
