No cook Strawberry Freezer Jam

So, I know many people are nervous about making jelly.  Well, here is an easy easy recipe for beginners and there is NO COOKING ( well accept boiling water)! 

You might grow your own strawberries or you can get them for .99 lb at Aldi's this week ( or price match at Walmart ;)  so, that is a couple of ways to get your strawberries!

4 c. ripe strawberries ( you will need 2 1lb containers)

4 c. granulated sugar
1 box Sure-Jell powdered pectin
3/4 c. water

Wash and hull the berries; crush them completely, a few at a time. (Should end up with 2 cups.) I have even put the strawberries in the food processor.  

In large bowl, mix together the berries and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes.

Combine pectin and water in saucepan. ( ok so I said no cook but this is easy ;)

Bring to boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Stir hot pectin into the fruit bowl; continue stirring.

Don't worry if sugar is not completely dissolved.

Ladle jam into freezer containers.

Put lids on immediately. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours or until set.

Refrigerate for a few weeks or freeze for up to a year.

 

I put my jam in my mason jars which can also go in the freezer.
