Strawberry Jello Freezer Jam Recipes

EASY STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Add the strawberries to a deep pot along with the sugar and lemon juice.
• Stir to combine and turn the heat to high, stirring every now and then until the mixture starts to bubble and become hot.
• Use a potato masher to mash the strawberries until they begin to fall apart. The more you mash, the smaller the strawberry pieces will be.
• When the mixture begins to boil, continue to stir every 30 seconds or so.
• Use an instant-read thermometer - here's a link to mine (affiliate link) - to measure the temperature of the jam as it boils. Be sure the thermometer is measuring at the middle of the jam and not touching the bottom of the pot.
• Continue boiling as the temperature climbs and don't let it stop boiling until it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (for low altitudes) or 218 degrees Fahrenheit (for high altitudes). This should take about 8 minutes or so.
• Once the correct temperature is reached, remove the pot from the heat and carefully spoon the jam into a standard mason jar. The jam might seem a little bit liquid at this stage - don't worry! It will thicken as it cools.
• Add the lids to the jars and allow to cool at room temperature until completely cool.
• Store in the fridge (or freezer for long term storage) and enjoy on toast, scones, or however you like!

• Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries.
• Wipe down the sides of the pan so no sugar granules remain or the jam will have a grainy texture later.
• Stir in the Jell-O. Fill clean containers with jam. I didn't have a canning jar filler, so I used a big plastic cup with a hole in the bottom. I put my jam in mason jars even though I didn't actually can the jam. You can also store the jam in plastic tupperware containers or even plastic freezer bags.
• Freeze the jam. Thaw in fridge before serving on toast, waffles, sandwiches or even ice cream.
