This strawberry freezer jam is quick and easy to make. The texture is looser compared to traditional strawberry jam, but it is still pleasantly spreadable. So good on toast, ice cream, or even in milkshakes! Keep jars in the freezer and take them out when you are ready to use them.
Ingredients
- 4 cups halved fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 package dry pectin , 1.75 ounce
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions

1
Gather all ingredients.

Crush strawberries using a potato masher in a large bowl. (Alternatively, pulse strawberries in a food processor until just finely chopped but not pureed.) Drain strawberries through a fine mesh strainer; reserve juice for another use. Transfer 2 cups crushed strawberries to a large bowl (reserve any extra strawberries for another use); add sugar, and stir until evenly combined. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, stir pectin and water together in a small saucepan until combined. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms and pectin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Stir boiling pectin-water mixture into strawberry mixture in large bowl; stir constantly for 3 minutes. To check if jam is set, coat back of a spoon with jam; run a finger through it. If jam remains separated, it is properly set. If jam runs back together, it is not set; stir until set, 3 more minutes. Pour into 2 sterilized pint-size jars or other storage containers, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the top to allow for expansion. Place tops on containers, and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.

Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, or freeze until ready to use or up to 3 months. Enjoy!

Winter Green Salad
People tend to forget to eat green salads and other raw foods in the cold winter weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be the main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.
