Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries about 2 lbs
- 1 teaspoon orange zest optional
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- Freezer Jam Pectin (you can find this at Walmart or Target or online)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and finely dice. Use a masher to slightly crush some of the berries until you have 4 cups of berries total.
- Zest 1 teaspoon of zest from the 1 orange if desired. Add to the strawberries along with the sugar. Mix well and rest for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the pectin, a little at a time, until incorporated. Continue gently stirring for 4 minutes with a spoon.
- Let rest for 2 minutes. Stir for 2 minutes more.
- Pour into freezer jam jars or glass jars.
Notes
- Keep jam in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer (in freezer-safe containers) for up to a year. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
- Do not double this recipe, make two separate batches if needed.
- Strawberries can be left more chunky or mashed finer. I prefer a more chunky texture, you will need 4 cups total.
- IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT PECTIN
- This recipe uses pectin intended for freezer jam like this one. If using pectin that does not say freezer jam, the recipe above will not set.
- Each serving is approx. 2 tablespoons.
- Combine 2 cups of crushed/chopped berries (about 1 pint before crushing) with 4 cups of sugar and citrus zest if using.
- Bring ¾ cup of water and 1 packet of pectin (like Sure-Jell) to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
- Stir the pectin into the fruit mixture stirring for 3 full minutes.
- Pour into jars and rest at room temperature 24 hours. Refrigerate or freeze.
