Ingredients
- 2 pints strawberries about 4 cups
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 1.75 oz box Sure Jell Fruit Pectin yellow box
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- De-stem strawberries and rinse thoroughly.
- Place strawberries in a large bowl and crush them using a potato masher or food processor. NOTE: Do not puree - jam should have small bits of fruit.
- Add sugar to the strawberries and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, add ¾ cup water and pectin. Bring to a boil and let boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Stir the pectin mixture into the strawberry mixture. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 3 minutes).
- Pour into prepared glass jars or plastic containers, leaving ½ inch at the top for expansion during freezing. Cover with lids.
- Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours until set. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or store in the freezer for up to 1 year. Thaw in the refrigerator before use.
