No Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam image

When you accidentally come home with 17 pounds of strawberries from a morning at the pick your own berry patch, you have to do something. And you have to do it fast! I started to can the strawberry jam, but quickly saw that if I continued on the canning path to use up all the strawberries that I'd be up all night. While I did can many jars of strawberry jam, I needed a "quicker" alternative to help us get through all the strawberries. This No Sugar Freezer Jam was the answer!

Time 20m

Yield 4 8 ounce containers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 lbs strawberries, hulled and stems removed
1 3/4 cups apple juice
1.5 (3 ounce) packages no sugar pectin (I find that using 1 1/2 packages really gets the jam to set perfectly!) or 1.5 (3 ounce) packages low sugar pectin (I find that using 1 1/2 packages really gets the jam to set perfectly!)

Steps:

  • Mash the strawberries in a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the apple juice and pectin to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
  • Pour straight into the mashed strawberries and stir hard for 1 minute.
  • Ladle into the freezer containers and place in the refrigerator overnight to let it cool slowly and set.
  • Then store in the freezer.
  • Good in the freezer for up to 1 year, in the fridge for 3 weeks.
