Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds fresh strawberries
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3 tablespoons instant pectin

Steps:

  • Wash, hull, and coarsely chop strawberries in a large glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl. Mash with a potato masher to a fine texture, 1 or 2 minutes. Add sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste. Stir well and let stand until berries have released some of their juice, about 30 minutes. Add pectin, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until well combined after each addition. Let stand 5 minutes to activate pectin.
  • Spoon jam into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Loosely apply clean lids and set jars in freezer. Freeze completely, about 5 hours.
  • Tighten lids. Store in freezer up to 1 year or in fridge up to 1 month.
