Ingredients

2 pints strawberries - should equal 2 cups when mashed

4 cups sugar

1 box Sure Jell

3/4 cup water

5 Ball Plastic Freezer Jars (I ♥ these)

Directions

~Wash and rinse jars

~Clean strawberries

~Mash strawberries in a large bowl with potato masher leaving chunks (mmm... chunks) You can also do this in a food processor - but make sure not to over process - must have those glorious chunks!!!

~Pour sugar over strawberries and mix well - cover and let sit for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally

~In a sauce pan combine the water and Sure Jell over high heat - whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil - keep whisking and let mixture boil for 1 minute then remove from heat

~Pour Sure Jell mixture over strawberry mixture and stir for 3 minutes - sugar should be dern near completely gone

~Ladle this strawberry goodness into your containers leaving a 1/2-in from the top - clean up any spills or drips with a clean cloth - fasten on lids

~Let jars of jam set at room temp for 24 hours before storing

Storage:

Freezer - will last for 1 year - thaw in fridge before using

Fridge - will last up to three weeks

Good timing when strawberries are in season....in the grocery store. SOON locally! I want to make this with my grandson - he LOVES strawberry jelly! Welcome back, too. Hope your trip home was a good one...you sure brought back a good recipe.

I spent last summer at my sister's in Oregon, where she lives on 40+ acres with lot's and I mean lots of blackberry bushes. We made TONS of blackberry freezer jam with those plastic freezer jars. They are fantastic. They stack beautifully if you have a small freezer. Got them at Walmart.Thanks for the memories!
