Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and crushed
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 package (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare your freezer containers. You need clean jars or freezer-safe containers with lids.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed strawberries and the sugar. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir the powdered pectin and lemon juice into the strawberry-sugar mixture. Mix well for about 3 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken slightly.
- Pour the jam mixture into your prepared freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Wipe the rims clean, seal the containers with lids, and let them sit on the counter for 30 minutes to allow the jam to set further.
- Place the sealed jars in the refrigerator for 24 hours to fully set before transferring them to the freezer for long-term storage.
Notes
- This jam tastes best when used within 6 to 8 months for the freshest flavor.
- If you prefer a lower sugar version, you can substitute half the sugar with a sugar substitute designed for jam making, following the pectin package directions for low-sugar recipes.
- Thaw jam overnight in the refrigerator before using. Once thawed, use within 3 weeks.
