I love to make my own strawberry freezer jam! This is a recipe for homemade strawberry jam that I always used when I taught Home Economics and one that I still enjoy making every year. It is a fun activity to get your kids involved in too! My students always enjoyed this recipe.
You can't go wrong with this homemade recipe for strawberry freezer jam. I always make a ton of it when strawberries are on sale each summer to last me all winter long.
Remove stems and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 5 cups prepared fruit into 6 or 8 quart saucepot.
Stir pectin into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Then allow to cool for 24 hours and place in the freezer.

I've made the no-cook strawberry freezer jam for years and it's wonderful! This year there is a new (at least to me) dry pectin that you just mix with the sugar. Tried it, and it's ever bit as good - and you don't go anywhere near a stove! My now 30 y/o son STILL starts bugging me about making it the first sign of spring!
