A quick and easy no-cook strawberry freezer jam that captures fresh summer flavor in just 30 minutes without boiling or long cooking times.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed (about 1 pound or 450 grams)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar (600 grams)
  • 1.75 ounces powdered fruit pectin (about 50 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 4 cups of strawberries under cold water, remove stems and hull them. Place in a mixing bowl and mash gently with a potato masher or fork to desired texture.
  2. In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, whisk 1.75 ounces powdered fruit pectin with 1/2 cup water until completely dissolved with no lumps.
  3. Add 3 cups granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the mashed strawberries. Stir well until sugar is mostly dissolved and mixture is even.
  4. Pour the dissolved pectin into the strawberry mixture and stir vigorously for 3 minutes to activate the pectin and start setting.
  5. Transfer the jam into clean, airtight containers or jam jars leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Seal tightly and place in the freezer.
  6. Allow the jam to chill and set in the freezer for at least 4 hours before use. After setting, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or keep frozen for longer storage.

Notes

Use fresh, firm strawberries for best texture and flavor. Dissolve pectin thoroughly to avoid lumps. Work quickly after adding pectin to prevent premature thickening. Store jam in freezer immediately and consume within recommended times. If jam is too runny after setting, allow more time in freezer or stir gently after thawing.
