Strawberry Freezer Jam

3 cups

strawberries

1 Tbsp

lemon juice

3 cups

sugar

1.75 oz (1pkg)

powdered pectin

1/2 cup

water 

Set aside 1 cup of sugar.

Chop up the strawberries, and pour the rest of the sugar over the berries.  Let them stand for 10 minutes or so, then add lemon juice.

Mix that reserved cup of sugar with the pectin powder, add the water and stir until thoroughly dissolved.

Bring to a rolling boil and keep it boiling for a minute.  Pour it slowly and carefully into the strawberries and mix thoroughly.

Pour the jam into jars, cover and let them stand for a day, then move them into the freezer.  I use smallish jars for this, and just use the lids they come with. Best practice is to fully tighten the lids after the jam is frozen.  It keeps in the fridge for several weeks, in the freezer for many (6 or more) months. It has no preservatives though, so don't leave it out for long.
