No cook strawberry freezer jam


4 Cups crushed strawberries
1 1/2-1 3/4 sugar depending on how sweet you like it. I only used 1 1/2
5 T Instant Pectin for no cook jam

1.Place berries in food processor if you have a dough blade this works. Don't use the blade or it just turns it to mush. If you don't have the dough blade just put berries in a pan or large bowl and smash with potato masher until desired consistency.


2.In a separate bowl mix together the sugar and pectin. Add the berries and stir for 3 min.


3.Pour into freezer safe containers and let sit at room temp 30-40 min or until set. Put into freezer or fridge.

these are the containers I used
* Will stay in the freezer for up to 1 year and will keep in fridge 3-4 weeks.


* This was so super easy to make it tastes great. I was a little worried using only 1 1/2 cups sugar cuz when I was done with mixing it didn't taste really sweet. But as it set it sweetened up and I think that its perfect. I got 8 jars out of this recipe. Its great I give it a 4 1/2 Next time I think I will add some peaches yummy..
