Freezer jam is a favorite around here. To be perfectly honest though we've only had strawberry flavored --- but that completely sold us anyway. Last week was my week to plan the menu so I decided to include some fresh strawberries on the grocery list so I could whip up some freezer jam. Piled on top of a heavenly homemade biscuit and you have a winning combination. Below is our wonderful Nanny's awesome strawberry freezer jam recipe that she's passed along to us... enjoy! xoAchaia
Strawberry Freezer Jam
4 pounds fresh strawberries
12 cups sugar
3 packages Sure-jel
2 1/4 cups water
Clean strawberries and cute in half (or smaller pieces depending on size). Put in bowl and mash with potato masher. You should end up with 6 cups total.
Pour sugar on strawberries and stir (you'll need to make sure your strawberries are in a big bowl). Let sit for 10 minutes.
While strawberries are sitting pour Sure-jel packages and water in saucepan. (Don't worry about lumps). Stir constantly and bring to boil over high heat. Boil one minute.
Pour Sur-jel/water mixture into strawberries. Stir 3 minutes.
Pour into small freezer containers (old butter dishes work great too). Put lids on and let sit out on countertop for 24 hours. Then put in freezer.
When ready to eat simply get a container out of the freezer and use! If there's any leftover, store in fridge.
