Easy strawberry freezer jam

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Mashed strawberries, (about 1 quart)
4 cups Sugar
1¾ ounce Box powdered fruit pectin
¾ cup Water

Directions

Wash and stem the strawberries; mash with a potato masher. Combine the 2 cups mashed berries and 4 cups sugar, mixing thoroughly. Be SURE to measure the sugar EXACTLY, or the jam will not set properly.

Set the strawberry/sugar mixture aside. In a saucepan, combine fruit pectin with ¾ cup water. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Combine strawberry/sugar mixture with pectin mixture. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved, and no longer grainy. Pour into clean, dry, freezer-safe containers, filling to within ½" of tops. Cover at once with tight lids. Let stand at room temperature overnight. Store in freezer until opened; then store in refrigerator. Makes 4 (8-ounce) containers. Submitted By DAN KLEPACH On 05-14-95
