last week i replenished my freezer with strawberry jam. i don't have any secret recipe, i just use the one on the pectin package:) but just incase any of you haven't discovered how easy strawberry freezer jam is... this post is for you!! i will be honest too- i prefer freezer jam to cooked jam if you have the freezer space. not only is it so easy, but it tastes so fresh. i am also posting the tag that i created for the jam i gave as gifts. i used a 3" circle shaped punch to cut mine out. you can pick one up at the craft or scrapbooking store. Enjoy!
{strawberry freezer jam}
2 cups pureed strawberries
4 cups sugar
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 package powdered pectin
3/4 cup water
In a large bowl, combine strawberries, sugar & lemon juice. Let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile in a small sauce pan- bring water to a boil. Add pectin. Bring back to a boil. Cook at hard boil for 1 minute. Pour pectin mixture into strawberries. Stir until sugar is all dissolved. (i usually feel it between my fingers till it is no longer grainy) Pour into washed & dried containers, either glass or plastic, store in the freezer up to 1 year or in the fridge for 1 month.
{to get the tag: right click on the image of the tag, "save image as...", save where you want to your computer. print ( i used a textured card stock). attach with ribbon, twine or ric rac}
i'll post a recipe for my sister-in-law's super yummy Heavenly Biscuits. they go perfectly with this jam!
