STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Ingredients

    2 cups crushed strawberries (about 1 qt. fully ripe strawberries, stems removed)

    4 cups granulated sugar

    3/4 cup water

    1 box Sure Jell Fruit Pectin (*see note)

    Containers to put the jam in - I like to use half-pint mason jars

Instructions

  *Rinse and dry the containers you'd like to put the jam in (enough for 5 cups).

 * I always use glass mason jars but plastic containers work great also. This recipe fills 5-6 half pint jars.

  *Using a  a food processor add strawberries and pulse just a few times, until strawberries are well diced, but not totally mashed.

   *Measure exactly 2 cups of strawberries into a large bowl. (It's really important to measure the berries and sugar exactly, or the jam will not set properly.)

    *Add the sugar, one cup at a time, stirring really well after each addition. Let stand for 10 min., stirring occasionally.

    * Meanwhile, add water and pectin package to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.

       Once boiling, stir for 1 min. Remove from heat and add it to the strawberry mixture.

     *Stir mixture really well, for several minutes, until sugar is well dissolved.

      Fill containers with jam and leave 1/2'' of head-space at the top. Cover with lids and allow to stand at room temperature for 24 hours.

    After 24 hours you can store jam in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks or freeze it for up to 1 year!
