Strawberry Freezer Jam

This week, I've learned to make strawberry freezer jam. I attended this workshop held at Cedar Cottage Neighbourhood House and it was funded by the Vancouver Foundation's Neighbourhood Small Grants. I had the chance to meet the facilitator and she was really helpful.

This recipe is insanely easy to make and it doesn't require any cooking. Below are directions you can try at home:

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups crushed strawberries
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1 pouch Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin

PREPARATION:

1. Wash and cut strawberries. In a large bowl, crush the strawberries. I used a potato masher.


2. Stir together prepared fruit, pectin, and sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.


3. Ladle the jam into clean plastic freezer jars and leave about 1/2 inch headspace. Apply lids.


4. Let stand in the refrigerator until set or put into freezer.
Note: Can refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year.
