Description
This 15-minute no-cook strawberry freezer jam captures the peak flavor and nutrition of summer berries without the hassle of traditional canning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 quarts fresh strawberries (rinsed and stemmed)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons fruit pectin
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries, remove stems, pat dry, and crush to desired texture using a masher or food processor.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and fruit pectin until fully combined.
- Add crushed strawberries and stir continuously for 3 minutes to activate pectin.
- Ladle jam into freezer-safe containers, leaving ½ inch headspace, seal, and freeze for 24 hours.
Notes
For a mixed berry variation, substitute up to half the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries. Use low-sugar pectin to reduce sugar content by 50%. Let thawed jam refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
