Servings: 40 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries cleaned and hulled
- 4 cups of granulated sugar
- 3 oz package of liquid fruit pectin*
- ¾ cup of boiling water
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the strawberries in a large bowl and mash them so that just a few chunks remain. I like to do this with a potato masher but you can also use a fork. Mix in the sugar and let sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, stir together the boiling water and liquid pectin and mix it into the strawberries. Stir in the lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into clean glass jars and cover/ seal. Let sit on the counter, at room temperature, for 24 hours, and then place in the freezer.
- To enjoy, remove a jar the night before you’d like to enjoy it! I let mine sit on the counter overnight and it’s perfect in the morning.
- The jam will last in the fridge for about 4 weeks or in the freezer for up to a year.
Notes
Pectin- I used a 3oz packet of Certo liquid fruit pectin (see photo above for reference)- I’ve found it at most major grocery stores.
Other fruit- I haven’t personally tried this with other berries, but I’ve heard of people swapping out some of the strawberries for other berries and the recipe still works great.
