Strawberry Freezer Jam

I have a whole load of strawberries in my fridge that have been begging to be made into jam. So, I got ambitious and made jam on Saturday. I haven't ever made Strawberry jam before. So I was pretty excited to have it in my freezer. I initially got the recipe off of Our Best Bites, and they got it from the Sure Jell box of pectin. It is super tasty! Enjoy!

Strawberry Freezer Jam
Recipe from the Sure Jell box
1 qt. (2 c. crushed) ripe strawberries, washed and stemmed
4 c. sugar
1 package fruit pectin
3/4 c. water
8-oz. freezer-safe containers
Wash and dry the freezer-safe containers and set aside. With a potato masher or in a food processor, mash the berries, leaving some chunks. Measure out 2 c. of berries into a large bowl. Stir in exactly 4 c. sugar and allow to stand for 10 minutes. While the berries and sugar are co-mingling, whisk the pectin into 3/4 c. water in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir into strawberry mixture for 3 minutes or until sugar is almost entirely dissolved. Ladle the jam into the prepared containers, leaving about 1/2″ at the top for expansion. Top with lids and allow to stand for 24 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 1 year. Makes 5 8-oz. containers.
