Strawberry Freezer Jam is the simplest easiest way to start canning your own jam. Tastes great and fruity all year long! So easy even the kids can help make it.

Strawberry Freezer Jam
Have you ever made your own jam? I hadn't before my mother-in-law showed me how to make Strawberry Freezer Jam.
In my mind, it was like some super secret recipe that involved a million steps and also tons of special canning gadgets. In reality, it was sooo super easy and as long as you know how to run your dishwasher and a blender you are set!
I am kicking myself for not making it sooner. Plus, fresh Strawberry Freezer Jam in the winter? Sounds pretty darn good to me.

This recipe does call for pectin which also calls for sugar to make it gel properly. If you aren't down with all the sugar required for the pectin to gel stay tuned and I will have a no pectin honey-sweetened jam.
Both recipes received great reviews from my taste testers and we have had both recipes on not just regular old pb&j sandwiches but on homemade toast, waffles, and pancakes.
I am thinking I need to get some more fruit and make more Strawberry Freezer Jam because my kids are going through it too fast! I hope you will give it a try and enjoy it as much as we do.

Blueberry Crumble Pie

Strawberry Freezer Jam

Ingredients

5 c strawberries
2 c sugar
6 Tbsp. instant pectin

Instructions

Wash and hull strawberries,making sure to cut off any squishy bruised spots.
You can either crush the strawberries with a potato masher which gives you a chunkier type texture or you can use a food processor or blender to get a smoother texture.
In a large bowl mix the berries with the sugar and instant pectin. Stir for 3 minutes.
Add jam mixture to your prepared freezer jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace for expansion during freezing. Let jars sit for 30 minutes before freezing.

Notes
If you are using glass canning jars you will need to sterilize them. Just place them and the rings in the dishwasher through a cycle. Wash the lids in hot soapy water and keep in hot water until ready to can.
