I love this time of year! Strawberries are by far my favorite food (except for maybe chocolate). OOH! Strawberries dipped in chocolate are definitely my favorite food. We have a berry farm not far from our house. So, now is the time to get farm fresh strawberries and make some freezer jam. When I am making the jam I always get “yesterday’s pick” strawberries to save me some money, because they are $2.00 cheaper than the newly picked strawberries.
I love using the Ball no cook freezer jam packets, because they are super quick and easy. All you have to do it puree the strawberries (you will need 4 cups of puree) then add them to the mix and 1 1/2 cups of sugar. No cooking! I love the way it turns out, it takes like fresh strawberries. It is great to have during those winter months when strawberries aren’t available.
This is my first batch. I bought lots of the plastic containers last year, and I will re-use them every year. I like to make enough jam to last me through the whole year, I usually have to make 3 or 4 batches in order to have enough. Do you do any jam making during the summer?
Thanks for breaking this down into easy-to-understand terms.
