Description
This easy strawberry freezer jam recipe is fresh, chunky, and tastes like summer in a jar — ready in minutes with no canning required!
Ingredients
4 cups strawberries, hulled and crushed
1 box pectin (Sure-Jell or Ball)
1 ½ cups sugar
¾ cup water
Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest, ½ tsp vanilla extract, or 1 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
Wash and hull strawberries. Crush until you have 4 cups (chunky, not pureed).
In a saucepan, combine pectin and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
Pour hot pectin mixture into strawberries. Add sugar and stir for 5 full minutes until glossy.
Pour jam into clean containers, leaving ½ inch headspace.
Let sit at room temperature for 24 hours to set.
Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 12 months.
Notes
Do not double the recipe — it won’t set properly.
Low-sugar pectin works great if you want less sweetness.
Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh.
