Freezer Strawberry Jam

you are absolutely right Lennie, there is no going back to regular jam after this. Just two suggestions, 1, try Ball pectin it really has the freshest flavor, and if you can choose the type of strawberries. that you will use there are some called Shucksan here in the Pacific Northwest that are just huge and quite dark, but they have the most intense strawberry flavor.

This recipe is perfection in a jar! It was basically the same recipe as the one listed on my Kroger brand pectin, but I like the way this one is written better. This recipe used about two containers of strawberries once cored and sliced. I used plastic freezer jars and it filled nearly six jars. My two nieces commented that it tasted better than grandma's! Quite the compliment for my first try at jam!

This is my first time making jam at home, and I can say with confidence that I will never go back to buying jam at the store. However, I will say that this particular recipe came out a bit runnier and sweeter than I like my jam to be. I think next time, I'll add less sugar and more pectin.

I tried this recipe last night & could not have followed it any closer. Mine didn't set at all. Tastes absolutely wonderful!! Any suggestions on why it didn't set? I'm all ears!! I don't want to rate it yet, I'd like to try & save this batch any way possible (even if I have to add more Splenda or sugar) or just try it over again.

Delicious!! A great choice when you don't have time to make canned jam and/or you prefer a sweeter strawberry jam. We love it!

This is phenomenal! I ran out of sugar and used brown sugar, but less of it. It was a bit runny, but still fabulous! No more store bought for us!

This was my first time making jam; don’t know why I waited so long. I used a box of Kroger brand pectin, it set up very well and tasted good. I will definitely be making this again.

This was fantastic ! My family gobbled up a whole jar tonight at dinner. What I thought would last us a year in freezer jam might only make it through the month. Thank you for the easy and yummy recipe.

This is the recipe I use every year and I use Sure Jell brand powdered pectin in the yellow box. I tried another recipe this year because it won an award and it used the Ball Simple Creations pectin and called for balsalmic vinegar. I was not happy with it at all so I will have to mix it with my usual freezer jam so it doesn't go to waste. I will stick with this recipe for now on for all my strawberry freezer jam.

What a pleasant surprise. This jam positively delicious. I added some lemon juice to break some of the sweetness, but I will try all sorts of different versions of this jam.

This recipe was very easy, I thought I would take a short-cut and chop the berries in my food processor (please don't do this) You MUST crush the berries by hand, or you will have a soupy mixture, instead of a jam. I made a second batch and crushed the berries with a potato masher. This worked perfectly. This is a great No-Fail recipe. I will use this again and again!

Freezer strawberry jam is a family favorite. It is also a favorite gift--it always gets rave reviews from the recipient. Sometimes out of season, frozen strawberries work great--not as good as fresh but any freezer jam is still better than store bought jam in a jar. Another favorite is three berry jam using frozen blueberry, blackberry and raspberry mix from the store; follow directions inside the pectin package. The calorie and carb count listed in the nutrition info are high, but a serving is around 2 tablespoons rather than a cup, which makes one serving around 80 calories. Thanks Lennie!

I much prefer freezer strawberry jam over processed jam---The strawberries taste much fresher. This recipe is wonderful, hands-down the best I've ever tried. I use small, sweet Springtime strawberries and make enough to last all year. I put it in 1/2 pint canning jars and store the inventory in my freezer. It is wonderful to have on scones, toast, bagels, waffles, pound cake, angel food cake, ice cream...And the list could go on forever. A simple, foolproof recipe that is exponentially better than anything you could buy at the grocery.

This is a good recipe and if you follow it correctly it will make a delicious, fresh-tasting jam! I think the length of time you cook the pectin affects the setting of the jam - just an idea. I let mine cook a bit more than required and it set to almost regular jam consistency. Also, mine was not jeweled but more cloudy - what can I say - I would rather have the sugar disolved than have clear jam due to less stiring! Very good stuff!

Quick, easy & delicious strawberry jelly. I blend mine, since I'm not a fan of "chunks" of fruit on my toast...so blended it until smooth. Only took 2 hours to make 30 jelly-jars full of jelly & into the freezer they went. Thanks for sharing!

This freezer jam is great. Very sweet though and makes a large amount. I found that I can just leave mine in the freezer and it is runny enough to use as soon as I take it out. Mine turned out a little runny. Tasty though and easy to make!

This was easy and tastes good but didn't really set like jam --- it's more like a sauce. I DID follow the recipe exactly. Any suggestions?
