A no-cook, quick and easy strawberry freezer jam recipe that preserves the fresh flavor of ripe strawberries with a soft, spreadable texture. Ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for summer mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 package (about 1.75 oz) liquid fruit freezer pectin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and mash 4 cups (about 2 pounds or 900 grams) of fresh strawberries in a large bowl until spreadable with some chunks.
  2. Stir in 3 cups (600 grams) of granulated sugar until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow juices to release and sugar to dissolve.
  3. Pour in 1 package (about 1.75 oz or 49 grams) of liquid freezer pectin and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes to activate the pectin.
  4. Spoon the jam into clean jars or containers, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Seal with lids or airtight covers.
  5. Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours to allow the jam to set and thicken.
  6. Once set, store the jam in the freezer for up to 6 months or keep refrigerated and consume within 3 weeks.

Notes

Use ripe but firm strawberries for best set and flavor. Do not substitute powdered pectin as it requires cooking. Stir vigorously after adding pectin to activate gel formation. Let jam set for a full 24 hours before use. If jam is too runny, increase pectin slightly next time or allow longer setting time. Store in freezer up to 6 months or refrigerator up to 3 weeks. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
