Easy Freezer Strawberry Jam Recipe

By -

Recently, a friend of mine went strawberry picking and made some jam with her bounty. My mom and mother-in-law make it too but instead of waiting for someone to share it with me, I decided to make it myself. This is by far the easiest recipe to make strawberry jam without cooking the fruit. It's soft, spreadable, and delicious. My youngest grandson is in love with this strawberry jam. I guess I'll have to keep on making it. 

I didn't go berry picking because honestly, I'm not all about bending over for hours.  I picked up a couple of pounds of strawberries at my local grocery store and it worked out just fine.

If you think you could never make jam, you are mistaken. Give it a try with any fruit you choose.

I strongly suggest using instant pectin because I bought the kind you have to cook and didn't realize it at the time. It still turned out tasty 😋 



Ingredients
  • 2 pounds of Fresh Strawberries 
  • 3/4 cup of Sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoons Instant Pectin (it's best with instant, I used the wrong kind 😉 although it still tastes good)

Instructions

  • Wash and Stem Strawberries. 
  • For smoother jam, place stemmed Strawberries in your blender and puree. 

  • For chunkier jam, slice strawberries, place them in a shallow pan and use a hand masher to crush berries
  • Stir together Pectin and Sugar and add to puree and mix well. 

  • Carefully pour the jam into freezer-safe jars. I used the 8oz. size.

  • Let the jam sit for 30 minutes.
  • After the jam has set, affix lids, then store in your freezer until you’re ready to use this delicious jam.

Notes

Store in the freezer for up to 1 year, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Recipe yield varies slightly but makes approximately up to 4 - 8 oz. jars.

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
