Strawberry Jam

So my friend Kera thinks I'm so domestic since I cook all the time and make different things. Well this morning before play group I whipped up some Freezer Jam. It is so simple, plus it is so Delicious!!! Once you have freezer jam you will NEVER buy jam or jelly at the store again!

Recipe:

3 pint size jars

2 cups crushed strawberries

4 cups of sugar (this is probably what makes it so good!)

1 box of Sure Jell Pectin (Int he yellow box)

3/4 cup of water

• Prepare fruit: Use a food processor or potato masher to mash the strawberries very finely. It will have bits of fruit in it.
• Measure 4 cups sugar and put in separate bowl
• Stir sugar and prepared fruit together. Mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes, stir occasionally
• Stir 1 box of pectin and 3/4 cups of water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 min, Remove from heat.
• Stir pectin into mixture of fruit, stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy, about 3 mins.
• Pour into Jars, leaving 1/2 inch space at top for expansion during freezing, cover
• Let stand at room temp. for 24 hours until set. Then put in refrigerator or freezer. Will last in fridge up to 3 weeks, and freezer up to a year!!!

ENJOY!!!
