Strawberry Freezer Jam

My cousin Greg, who lives in Spain had a request for Grammy's recipe of Strawberry Freezer Jam. This delicacy was enjoyed by everyone who had the pleasure of being at Grammy and Paw Paw's for breakfast. She would keep biscuits in the freezer, along with cooked sausage patty's and gravy so that she could sleep in and you could warm your own breakfast in the microwave. If you were up early enough, Paw Paw would do it for you, but if you were like me, you had to do it yourself because he was already out piddling for the day.  If you have never had the pleasure to experience Strawberry Freezer Jam, you are in for a treat!  It is just like fresh strawberries spread on your biscuit.  This recipe was in the file folded up. Not sure it is the right one, but there was not one handwritten.



Strawberry Freezer Jam

2 cups crushed strawberries (about 2 1-lb. containers)
4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 3 ounce pouch Liquid Fruit Pectin

Combine crushed strawberries with sugar in a large bowl. Allow to stand for 10 minutes. 

Add entire contents of Pectin and lemon juice. Stir for 3 minutes.

Ladle freezer jam into clean freezer containers leaving 1/2 inch of head space. Apply lids and let jam stand in refrigerator until set, but not longer than 24 hours.  Serve immediately, refrigerate up to 3 weeks, or freeze up to 1 year.
