I always get excited when Spring time in Georgia finally rolls around. First, I can’t stand cold whether and the arrival of Spring means that Summer is almost here. Second, it also means that strawberry picking season is upon us. Each Spring, I head to a local farm in Georgia to hand pick only the best strawberries for my delicious treats. My repertoire of strawberry treats tends to change a bit from year to year, but one recipe that is always on the list is my Strawberry Freezer Jam.

The jam is perfect with toast, English muffins, waffles, poundcake and so much more. I even use it to make strawberry icing for my strawberry doughnuts. Trust me, once you make it, you’ll find plenty of ways to use it because it is just that good.

Enough talking, let’s jam.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of fresh strawberries
  • 4 cups of granulated sugar
  • 3 ounces of liquid pectin
  • 2 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Cut the strawberries in half and place them into a large bowl.
  2. Using a potato masher or large wooden spoon, crush the strawberries until they are a pulp-like consistency. Add the sugar into the bowl and stir until the sugar has been fully incorporated. (Note: The pectin needs the sugar so that the jam can set properly If you decrease the amount of sugar, your jam may not set properly.) Allow the strawberry-sugar mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. While the strawberries rest, in a separate, small bowl, mix the pectin and lemon juice. After the strawberries have rested for 10-15 minutes, stir in the pectin and mix well.
  4. Pour the jam into your desired, freezer safe containers and store appropriately. Jam can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks, but it can be stored in the freezer for up to a year.
