Make this simple, no-cook strawberry freezer jam to capture the taste of fresh summer berries. This easy recipe requires no canning and sets quickly, giving you a delicious spread ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and crushed
  • 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
  • 7 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare your freezer containers by washing and drying them thoroughly. You will need about 5 half-pint jars or freezer-safe containers.
  2. Crush the strawberries using a potato masher or food processor until you reach your desired consistency. You need 4 cups of crushed fruit.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of water and the powdered fruit pectin. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil hard for exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Stir the sugar into the pectin mixture until it is completely dissolved.
  5. Add the crushed strawberries to the sugar-pectin mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
  6. Let the jam mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will start to thicken.
  7. Pour the jam into your prepared freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  8. Wipe the rims clean, seal the containers, and let them cool on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  9. Place the containers in the freezer. The jam will be ready to eat once frozen solid, usually within 24 hours.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use firm, ripe strawberries.
  • This jam keeps well in the freezer for up to one year.
  • If you want a softer set, you can reduce the sugar slightly, but this may affect the final texture.
  • This recipe is perfect for a small batch jam recipe.
