Ingredients
4poundsFresh Strawberries {or Four 16 oz. containers}
1 1/2cupsof Sugar
5tablespoonsBall RealFruit Freezer Pectin
Instructions
Wash and Stem Strawberries. {I use a Stem Gem to speed up the process}
For chunkier jam, Slice Strawberries, place in a shallow pan, and use hand masher to crush berries {consistency will depend on how chunky you like your jam}.
For smoother jam, place stemmed Strawberries in your heavy duty blender, and puree. {I puree 2 lbs at a time, using the handle of a wooden spoon to smash down the berries from the top during the process} You'll end up with approx. 8 cups of puree.
In Extra Large Mixing Bowl, stir together Pectin and Sugar.
Add mashed berries into mixture, and stir for 3 minutes with a large wooden spoon.
Carefully pour jam into freezer-safe jars. {I use the 4oz. – 8oz. size.}
Let jam set for 30 minutes.
After jam has set, affix lids, then store in your freezer until you’re ready to use your tasty jam.
Notes
Store in freezer for up to 1 year, or in refrigerator for up to 1 month. Recipe yield varies slightly, but makes approximately up to nine 8 oz. jars or up to eighteen 4 oz. jars.
