I look forward to fresh jam every year. It’s a bit nostalgia for me and always make me want to make homemade bread as well. No better combo than fresh bread and jam!!

I always just use the recipe on the box of Sure Jell. Even though it’s tempting to double a batch at the same time, never do! That is when problems arise with the jam not setting up. I will though, do multiple batches sides by side (two bowls, two pans, two hands haha)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Strawberries, mashed or blended
• 4 cups Sugar
• 1 box Sure Jell Pectin, make sure it’s the original, not sugar free
• 3/4 cup water

Directions

1. Mix together the sugar and strawberries in a bowl. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
2. While waiting for the strawberries, combine the pectin with cool water in a saucepan. Bring pectin to a boil for 1 minute.
3. Take off heat and add to the strawberries. Mix for 3 minutes.
4. Pour into washed plastic containers, leaving 1/2 inch at the top for freezing.
5. Leave on counter for 12 hrs. Check to see if properly set (firm).
6. Put in freezer until needed!! Enjoy!!
