Literally, it is SO easy! Wash, blend, mix and pour. With strawberries at such a great price right now, why not make the yummy taste last all year! There is nothing like homemade jam!
Supplies needed:
4 lb. strawberries
2 Packets no cook pectin (we used Ball brand)
Sugar (says on the packet how much, probably varies by what pectin you use)
Blender
Freezer containers
2. Trim off the green tops and blend strawberries until smooth (or chunky if you like it that way).
3. Mix no cook pectin with sugar. Add liquefied strawberries and stir 3 minutes.
4. Pour in to freezer containers and clear a spot in the freezer. It’s good for up to a year!
We used Ball brand pectin and freezer jars. Don’t let the conversion chart on the pectin packet fool you! It does not use 4 lb. of fresh strawberries per packet, it uses 2 lb. per packet. We have made this mistake two years in a row.
Yep, I just got done doing the same thing. YUMMY!
I just made mine! Thanks so much! I am a dweeb and didn’t know you could make freezer jam. Also, thanks for the heads up on the conversion. It’s pretty confusing! You are wonderful!
