I have to share with you all how easy it is to make homemade freezer jam! I made some last night and decided to take a few photos along the way!
The instructions aren't difficult at all. I simply follow the quick & easy freezer jam directions that come along with the Sure Jell Pectin.
Easy Strawberry Freezer Jam
1 quart strawberries (fully ripe!)
4 cups of sugar
1 box Sure Jell Premium Fruit Pectin
Makes 6.5 half-pints.
1. Rinse fruit, cut off tops, and quarter strawberries.
2. Using a food processor, immersion blender, or regular blender, crush berries, but be sure not to puree. Jam usually has bits of fruit.
3. Measure 2 cups of crushed fruit into a large bowl. Add 4 cups of sugar. 4. Mix well. Allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Combine pectin and 3/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute.
6. Stir pectin mixture into fruit/sugar mixture. Stir until sugar has completely dissolved, around 3 minutes.
7. Pour into containers, leaving 1/2" of space. Put lids on and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours. After, you can refrigerate for up to 3 weeks and freeze for 1 year.
How seriously easy is that? You all should definitely try it while strawberries are still cheap! :)
Which Pyrex is the pink one in the first picture? I have that one!
