Servings: 72 ounces
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Fresh Strawberries (or Four 16 oz. containers)
- 1 1/2 cups of Sugar
- 5 tablespoons Ball RealFruit Freezer Pectin
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Wash and Stem Strawberries. (I use a Strawberry 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 plastic lids, then store in your freezer until you’re ready to use your tasty jam.
