Make homemade strawberry jam in under 30 minutes. This no-cook freezer jam captures the fresh flavor of summer berries and requires no special canning equipment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and crushed
  • 7 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 package (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your freezer containers. You need clean, freezer-safe jars or plastic containers with lids. Ensure they are dry.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the crushed strawberries and the powdered fruit pectin thoroughly. Let this mixture stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar until it is completely dissolved. Do not overmix once the sugar is incorporated; just stir until the sugar disappears.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, if using.
  5. Ladle the jam mixture into your prepared freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each container.
  6. Wipe the rims clean and seal the containers tightly.
  7. Let the jam sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the pectin to activate.
  8. Place the containers in the freezer. The jam will be ready to eat once fully frozen, usually within 24 hours.

Notes

  • This jam keeps well in the freezer for up to one year.
  • For a pectin-free option, you can increase the sugar slightly and cook the mixture down, but this recipe is designed for quick, no-cook setting.
  • If you want a smoother texture, pulse the strawberries briefly in a food processor instead of crushing by hand.
  • Thaw jam in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
