Homemade strawberry freezer jam and free printable tags | 11 Magnolia Lane

Every spring, when strawberries are in season and delicious, I make a batch or two of strawberry freezer jam.  And every year, I create cute printable tags or labels and share them with you.

Why freezer jam?  Well, it’s so easy, and I love the color and taste of it.  It just tastes fresher than cooked jam.  The downside is that you have to store it in the freezer or fridge until it’s gone, but I promise that it doesn’t last long!

It’s also a great recipe to use to introduce kids to making jams and jellies because it’s so simple.

Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam

This recipe is easier to make than cooked jam and I prefer the taste. Store in the freezer until ready to eat, then keep in the refrigerator.

Course Side Dish
Keyword jam
Prep Time 30 minutes
Servings 5 cups
Author 11 Magnolia Lane

Ingredients

  • 2 c crushed strawberries buy 1 qt ripe strawberries
  • 4 c sugar
  • 1 box Sure-Jell fruit pectin
  • 3/4 c water

Instructions

  1. Rinse 5 (1-cup) plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. Remove and discard strawberry stems. Crush strawberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.

  2. Mix water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring 1 min. Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until most the sugar is dissolved. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

  3. Fill containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or in freezer up to 1 year. (If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.)

You can read my step by step recipe in this post and this post; and my similar recipe for peach jam here, although that’s best in July or August when peaches are in season.

And here are the printable tags I made for this batch; click on the photo or the link below to download them as a PDF:

Here are the jars I use, plus the tags:

This jam is perfect on toast, scones, or any bread, and it’s also delicious on top of vanilla ice cream.  Enjoy!

      You will love it, Pat, and it doesn’t heat up the kitchen like cooked jam does, either.
      XO,
