Strawberry Freezer Jam

April 2, 2013

Fresh strawberries are the star of this sweet spread, which perks up plain toast or biscuits in the morning.

Nutrition Highlights: Strawberries contain nutrients to support brain and heart health.

Ingredients

Rinse strawberries, and cut off tops.
Using a potato smasher, crush the berries.
In a separate bowl, measure out 2 cups of crushed strawberries, and mix with sugar. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a saucepan, mix together pectin and water. Bring to a boil on high heat, and stir the pectin into the strawberry mixture until dissolved. Pour into freezer containers.
Leave the jam at room temperature for 24 hours before freezing.

Can you use frozen strawberries that dont’ have sugar added? Like the whole berry ones?

Hi Elaine,

I think that would work just fine. I haven’t tested this one with frozen berries, but from other similar recipes I know you can substitute fresh with frozen berries. They’ll just be a little soggier on the front end when you’re crushing them, but that shouldn’t affect the flavor since they’ll be boiled and frozen. Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks,
