Strawberry Freezer Jam – Liquid Pectin

Liquid Pectin and crushed fruit makes an easy, sweet fruit spread with no cooking required. Store these soft-set spreads in the freezer or refrigerator. Do not decrease sugar; doing so may result in gel failure. For freezer jams with less sugar (higher ratio of fruit to sugar), use Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin sold in 45 g pouches.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (500 ml) crushed strawberries, about 1/2 quart (1/2 L)
  • 4 cups (1000 ml) granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch (85 ml) BERNARDIN® Liquid Pectin
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice

Directions:

  • Wash and rinse 4 BERNARDIN® Freezer Jars and lids or 250 ml mason jars and closures.
  • Wash, hull and crush strawberries, one layer at a time.
  • Measure 2 cups (500 ml) strawberries and all the sugar into a large bowl. Mix well; let stand 10 minutes.
  • Squeeze entire contents of liquid pectin pouch into fruit-sugar mixture. Add lemon juice. Stir 3 minutes.
  • Ladle jam into clean jars to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of top rim (headspace). Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Apply lids tightly. Let stand at room temperature until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Refrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, or serve immediately.
