Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by hulking and washing 4 cups of fresh strawberries. Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries in a large bowl until they reach a chunky texture.
- Carefully pour the mashed strawberries into a measuring cup to ensure you have exactly 3½ cups of the crushed fruit.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the contents of the Low Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam pectin box.
- Gradually stir the pectin into the bowl of crushed strawberries along with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Add 2 cups of granulated sugar to the strawberry mixture, stirring vigorously until fully dissolved.
- Carefully spoon the thick strawberry mixture into freezer-safe half-pint jars, leaving about ¼ inch of headspace at the top.
- Using a spatula, gently press down to eliminate any air pockets in the jam.
- Place the jars in the freezer for 24 hours to set properly.
Notes
Explore different berry combinations, but adjust pectin accordingly for best results.
