Capture the ripe flavors of in season strawberries with this easy recipe that is sweet and smooth. Avoid the pitfalls of a gritty jam by picking the right pectin and taking the time to properly heat and cool your pectin mixture before incorporating into the muddled strawberries. Looking for other types of freezer jams? Simply swap out strawberries for your fruit of choice. Store your jams in the freezer until ready to use for a bright and delicious topping for toast, desserts, and more!

Ingredients

  • 240g (1 cup) Strawberries
  • Blueberries, Raspberries also Work
  • 454g (2 cups) Sugar
  • 25g (2 tbsp) HM Slow Set Pectin
  • 240g (1 cup) Water
  • 7.5g (1 ½ tsp) Citric Acid

Equipment

  • Mason Jars
  • Small Heavy Bottomed Saucepan

Timing

Active Time: 30 Minutes

Total Time: 3 Hours

Yield

8 Four Ounce Jars

  • Prepare Berries and Pectin

    Wash and remove stems from the fruit. Crush the fruit using a muddle. Alternatively you can slice or dice the fruit into your desired size. Any one of these works

    Add ½ of the total sugar in the recipe into the strawberries (or other fruit) along with the citric acid. Mix this well and allow them to macerate for 30 minutes. Stir periodically to help dissolve the sugar. Refrigerate this mixture until needed.

    In a separate bowl dry mix together the slow set HM pectin and the remaining sugar.

  • Heat Pectin Mix

    Pour the sugar and pectin mixture into a small heavy bottomed saucepan and stir in the water.

    Heat the sugar, pectin and water mixture to a boil.

    Once this has come to a boil allow it to cool to 115-120°F while stirring.

  • Add Fruit and Can

    When it reaches 120°F it can be stirred into the cooled fruit mixture.

    Separate this into 4 oz mason jars and allow them to set in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

    Once they have set, store them in the freezer until needed.

    Once thawed it will be ready to use for up to 2 weeks.
