Pioneer Woman Strawberry Freezer Jam Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed strawberries
- 4 cups sugar
- 1 box (1.75 ounces) SURE-JELL Premium Fruit Pectin
- 3/4 cup water
How To Make Pioneer Woman Strawberry Freezer Jam
- Measure the exact amount of crushed strawberries into a large bowl. To crush the berries, use a potato masher or a rigid pastry blender. If you use a food processor, pulse lightly to maintain some chunkiness, ensuring there are small bits of fruit visible. Avoid pureeing the berries.
- Add the exact amount of sugar to the crushed berries and mix well. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve.
- In a small saucepan, combine the pectin and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to stir and boil for 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Pour the hot pectin mixture over the berry and sugar mixture. Stir continuously for 3 minutes, or until the sugar has completely dissolved. It’s okay if a few sugar crystals are still visible.
- Using a ladle, immediately fill your containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Wipe any spilled jam off the jar rims with a wet paper towel. Secure the lids on the jars. Let the jars stand at room temperature for 24 hours to set.
Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right strawberries: Use ripe, firm strawberries for the best taste and thickness.
- Measure Carefully: Always measure your ingredients exactly. Changing the recipe or amounts can cause the jam not to set right.
- Don’t Change the Sugar: These jams need a lot of sugar. If you want to use less, buy a special pectin like SURE-JELL for less or no sugar recipes.
- Expect a Softer Jam: This jam will be softer than cooked jams.
What To Serve With Strawberry Freezer Jam
Strawberry Freezer Jam goes well with toast, scones, English muffins, and croissants. You can also enjoy it with Greek yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, and crepes for a breakfast meal or snack.
How To Store Strawberry Freezer Jam
For immediate use, store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to one year. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
