Strawberry Freezer Jam Recipe

As per request here is the jam recipe I used. It is super super easy, yet so delicious!

Strawberry Freezer Jam

4 cups (1000 ml) crushed strawberries, about 2 quarts (2 L)

1 -1/2 cups (375 ml) granulated sugar or SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, granulated

1 pouch (45 g) BERNARDIN® Freezer Jam Pectin

  • Wash and rinse 5 BERNARDIN® Freezer Jars and lids or 250 ml mason jars and closures.
  • Wash, hull and crush strawberries.. Measure 4 cups (1000 ml).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Freezer Jam Pectin and sugar or SPLENDA® until well blended. Stir fruit mixture into pectin-sugar mixture; stir 3 minutes.
  • Ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) headspace. Wipe jar rims removing any residue. Apply lids tightly. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, or serve right away.
 

This is the same recipe I used for raspberries as well. It can be used with any berries and some fruit. I love this recipe because it is sweet but not overly sweet. It has 1.5 cups of sugar compared to 7 cups of sugar in this jam! The recipe is on the back of the pectin package.

I'm definitely buying this pectin instead of Certo next time. My strawberry jam is yummy but it is very sweet and it took so much sugar!
