Easy Freezer Strawberry Jam Recipe

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.

Do you make jam and have a recipe you'd like to share? Please share and comment below.

Let’s Celebrate National Oatmeal Month with 10 Recipes

***UPDATED 1/6/23***

In January, National Oatmeal Month declares it’s possible to create healthy changes with this grain. Celebrate all month long by incorporating oatmeal in your breakfast and snacks. 

Do you love oatmeal as much as I do? I think oatmeal is underrated. You can do so much with it besides eating it in a bowl. You can make yummy granola, and muffins, add them to smoothies, and a multitude of other delicious food items. It's not only good to eat, you can make a face mask, and add it to a bath to relieve itchy skin.

I found 10 recipes that are not only delicious but good for you. All these recipes come from Delish. You can subscribe to Delish $3 a month or $20 annually. They have some wonderful recipes. 

Tropical Oatmeal with Coconut and Mango 

Cooking the oatmeal in coconut milk gives this bowl a subtly sweet flavor and extra-creamy texture. Topped with mango and toasted coconut flakes, each bite gets you one step closer to the Tropics.

Caramel Apple Pie Oatmeal

Yes, we love apple pie so much that we turned it into oatmeal. Drizzled with caramel, it's a breakfast you won't forget.

Strawberries 'N Cream Oatmeal

Strawberries in cream forever.

Banana Split Oatmeal

The beloved sundae has ingredients we'd normally top on oatmeal: banana, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Oh, and sprinkles, which we're always looking for an excuse to eat for breakfast.

S'mores Oatmeal

You can't act surprised that we found a way to turn an otherwise totally healthy bowl of plain oatmeal into a vehicle for s'mores toppings. Whether you're eating this as a YOLO breakfast or low-guilt dessert, it's a winner.

Maple Bacon Oatmeal

We're still looking for a food that doesn't work well maple bacon flavored. This ain't one of them.

PB&J Oatmeal

Relive your childhood already, jeez.

Oatmeal with Cranberries and Pistachios

If you're the type who doesn't want mini marshmallows and chocolate stirred into oatmeal (we know you're out there somewhere), we got you: Top with maple syrup, cranberries, and pistachios. 

Oatmeal with Apples, Pecans, and Cinnamon

Infused with apples, this oatmeal has all the fall flavors you love most. One of my personal favorites.

Triple Chocolate Oatmeal

We're in love with that cocoa: Stirring cocoa powder into cooked oatmeal and topping it with mini chocolate chips is our dream.

I hope you found a recipe that you would like to try. I am all for adding tidbits to my oatmeal bowl. Do you like to eat oatmeal? What's your favorite flavor or recipe? We'd love to hear from you.

Stay safe and sassy,

~ Kelly
