Strawberry Freezer Jam

It is that time to preserve what we grew.  Here is my favorite way to preserve my strawberries.  Psst… and it’s really easy!

These are some of the strawberries that I have been picking from my garden.

I prefer to blend my strawberries, not crush them.  I am not fond of chunks.  I am pretty sure that this is NOT recommended, but I have had good luck for the last couple of years with this method.

Next, I added the pectin.  Then the sugar.

Once it was completely mixed and clump-free I poured the jam into the freezer jars.

Here is the final product.  I let it set up for a while then into the freezer.  It will stay in the freezer for a year.

I am thinking that I want to try Srtawberry Freezer Jam this year.  Does anyone have a great recipe???  I would love to try it out. 

Please and Thank You

Strawberries Anyone?

Ok, ok, in my last post I may have acted like the only good thing I had growing was in a pot by my front door.  Well that’s not the case.  Other things are doing good as well. 

I took a look at the strawberries and to my amazement there were tons, and they needed to be picked ASAP.  So, my daughter went and got the sidewalk chalk buckets and a picking we went.  Soon I found myself yelling for my son to come help as Addi isn’t the best of help yet.  She did say “thank you Mommy/Brother” every time we gave her a berry to put in the bucket.  I thought I would share with you our 1st picking of strawberries.  I cleaned them, cut them and froze them.  I plan on doing the jam thing a little later in the season when I have more.
