Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and mashed
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box fruit pectin powder (about 1.75 oz, follow package instructions)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Water (optional, to dissolve pectin and adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and then mash gently with a potato masher or fork until you achieve your desired chunkiness—smooth or slightly chunky.
  2. Mix Sugar and Pectin: In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the fruit pectin powder thoroughly to ensure an even set when mixed.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the sugar-pectin mixture to the mashed strawberries while stirring well. This helps the sugar to draw out juices and evenly distribute pectin throughout the jam.
  4. Add Lemon Juice: Pour in the fresh lemon juice and mix completely. The acidity activates the pectin, allowing the jam to thicken naturally without heat.
  5. Let It Set: Transfer the jam mixture into clean, airtight freezer-safe containers or jars. Place them in the freezer for several hours or overnight until the jam reaches the perfect set and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the brightest flavor and color.
  • Measure pectin carefully according to package instructions to avoid runny jam.
  • Work quickly once sugar and pectin are combined to transfer jam into containers before it starts setting.
  • Pre-chill containers to help jam cool faster and maintain freshness.
  • Use sterilized utensils when handling jam to prevent spoilage.
