Strawberries!


Spring is on its way and strawberries are in bloom! Meijer has a sale going on this week, $0.98 a lb! That's a stock-up price. So fill your freezers with sliced strawberries for smoothies, or try your hand at jam. 
Do you have a favorite freezer jam recipe? I just found this one and I'm going to try it!

No Sugar Strawberry Freezer Jam

From the Ball No Sugar Pectin Package
Yield – 4 8 oz. containers-ish
Preparation Time – 20 minutes
Cooking Time – 0 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. strawberries, hulled and stems removed
  • 1 3/4 cups apple juice
  • 1 1/2 package no sugar, low sugar pectin (I find that using 1 1/2 package really gets the jam to set perfectly!)

Directions

  • Mash the strawberries in a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the apple juice and pectin to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
  • Pour straight into the mashed strawberries and stir hard for 1 minute.
  • Ladle into the freezer containers and place in the refrigerator overnight to let it cool slowly and set.
  • Then store in the freezer.
  • Good in the freezer for up to 1 year, in the fridge for 3 weeks.
