Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam

Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam 

 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups mashed strawberries ( do not use a food processor as it will not be the right consistency)
• 3/4 c. honey
• 1 packet of no sugar pectin
• 1 3/4 c. water

 

Instructions:

1. Mash berries by hand. Then set up all the jars next to your stove; you will want everything arranged before you begin. Keep the lids in a pan of simmering water on the stove (not boiling).
2. Pour water and pectin into pot, and bring to a boil on the stove top, stirring frequently. Once the mixture is boiling, stir constantly for one minute. Then remove from heat and gently pour in the mashed berries. Stir for one minute, then pour in the honey.
3. With your clean ladle, ladle the jam into the jars through the funnel, leaving at least 1/2 inch head room at the top of the jar. Then one at a time, use the tongs to remove the lids from the pan of simmering water and place on top of the jars. Screw the bands down until they are just “finger-tight.” Don’t make them overly tight.
4. Let the jars cool to room temperature, then put the jam in the fridge overnight. The next morning, you can move it to the freezer.
