Strawberry Jello Freezer Jam Food

FREEZER STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• You will need clean plastic containers and lids; rinse them thoroughly with boiling water and make sure they are completely dry.
• Rinse strawberries gently with clean water, pat dry, then stem and crush them thoroughly, one layer at a time.
• Measure exactly 2 cups crushed berries into a large bowl; stir in sugar.
• Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix water and pectin in small saucepan; bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly.
• Continue boiling and stirring 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and add to fruit mixture; stir constantly for three minutes or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy; a few sugar crystals may remain and that's okay.
• Fill prepared containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops.
• Wipe off top edges and immediately cover with lids.
• Let stand at room temperature 24 hours.
• Your jam is now ready to use, and can be stored in the fridge for up to three weeks or frozen for up to one year.
• Thaw frozen jam in the fridge before using.

STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Wash and rinse containers (make sure they are sterile).
• Prepare the berries crushing one cup at a time using a potato masher.
• Measure exact amount of berries and juice and place in a large bowl.
• Measure the exact amount of sugar (no sugar substitutes) and stir into the prepared fruit; mix well and let stand for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
• While waiting, in a small bowl, stir the Certo fruit pectin into the lemon juice.
• After the 10 minutes has gone by with the berries, stir the pectin mixture into the prepared fruit.
• Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy--about 4 minutes (a few sugar crystals may remain--it's O.K.).
• Pour into prepared containers, leaving a 1/2" space at the top for expansion during the freezing; cover.
• Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours till set.
• You may store in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks or store in the freezer for up to one year; thaw in the refrigerator.

Stir the boiling water into the strawberries. Allow to stand for 3 minutes before pouring into jars or other storage containers.
• Place tops on the containers, and leave for 24 hours. Place into freezer, and store frozen until ready to use.

STRAWBERRY JELLO FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Wash strawberries, remove green leaves and crush.
• In your largest pot, combine strawberries and sugar. Let stand for 1 hour. Heat to boiling, then simmer for 15 minutes.
• 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.
