Ingredients
- 4 cups sugar
- 2 cups crushed fresh strawberries
- 1.75 ounces Original Sure Jell Premium Fruit Pectin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed strawberries and sugar. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small saucepan, bring water and pectin to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for one minute while whisking constantly, then remove from heat.
- Add the hot pectin and water mixture to the strawberry-sugar mixture and whisk for about 3 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the jam mixture into jars or containers, leaving 1/2 to 3/4 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Let the jam stand at room temperature for 24 hours to set.
- Once set, store the jam in the refrigerator for up to three weeks or freeze for up to a year.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the strawberries more thoroughly before mixing with sugar.
- For a lower-sugar version, use Sure-Jell’s lower-sugar fruit pectin.
- Feel free to mix strawberries with other fruits like raspberries or blueberries for a unique twist.
