I made freezer jam for the first time last year and ever since then I’ve been hooked. I love it because it’s easier to make (no cooking is involved!!) than traditional jam, it uses less sugar and it tastes just like fresh strawberries. The only downside I can think of is that you can’t really give it as a gift since it needs to remain frozen.
Normally I pick around 9+ quarts of strawberries each year to freeze and make into jam, but with our move I didn’t get a chance this year. I didn’t want to miss out on all the fun so I decided to use store-bought instead. I made a small batch of freezer jam which took less than an hour from start to finish. This is the perfect beginner recipe for jam because it’s so fast and easy.
