Since Strawberries are finally in season here in Washington, I made a trip to Spooner Farms for some fresh picked Strawberries. YUM! They are so good. I am spending the day making freezer jam and other goodies with strawberries. I have been making this version of Strawberry Freezer Jam for awhile, and I love the results. It’s quick and easy, doesn’t take a lot of sugar and tastes super sweet and fruity – just like fresh picked strawberries.
Interested in making some for yourself? Here is what you will need:
Ball Simple Creations No Cook Freezer Jam Fruit Pectin
1/1/2 cups sugar
Pour in the packet of Fruit Pectin and mix with sugar.
Add 4 cups crushed strawberries to the sugar and pectin mix, stir for 3 minutes. When crushing the strawberries, you can have a a few chunks of strawberries, or make it more smooth, whichever you prefer.
I like to use these Ball plastic containers, they are the perfect size.
Pour the strawberry Freezer Jam into the containers and freeze. Super simple and so delicious!!

I just went to Spooners yesterday & got our first batch! Soooo good! That’s a bit of a drive for you, though, isn’t it?
Christy says
Yes, it is a bit of a drive, but my parents live out that direction, so I can visit with them and get my strawberries.
Mike says
Winco has strawberries 1/2 flat..2.99…:o)
Christy says
Mike, Thanks so much for letting me know. We go through strawberries like crazy at our house. I will make a stop at Winco very soon.
Amy says
What a great tutorial and that jam looks so yummy!!!
Amanda says
Thank you so much for sharing! Would this same process work with other fruits? Say … blackberries or blueberries? (These are the fruits available at U-Pick Farms in my area.)
Beth says
christy, where did you buy the ball plastic containers and the freezer jam fruit pectin?
Christy says
Amanda – Yes, you can do this with other fruits as well.
Beth – I bought mine at Winco this year. In the past I have also bought them at Walmart and Fred Meyer.
