Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and crushed
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare your freezer containers by ensuring they are clean and ready to fill.
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed strawberries and sugar. Stir well until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sugar to fully dissolve and the fruit to release juices.
- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Spoon the jam mixture into the prepared freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top for expansion.
- Wipe the rims clean and seal the containers tightly.
- Let the jam cool completely on the counter, then transfer to the freezer.
- The jam will be ready to eat once frozen solid, usually within 24 hours.
Notes
- This recipe makes a small batch perfect for beginners.
- For a thicker set without commercial pectin, you can increase the sugar slightly or let the mixture sit longer before jarring.
- Freezer jam keeps well for up to one year in the freezer.
- Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
