Make bright, fresh-tasting strawberry jam without boiling or canning. This simple, no-cook freezer jam recipe is perfect for beginners and captures the peak flavor of summer strawberries quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and crushed
  • 1 package (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
  • 7 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare your freezer containers. You need clean, freezer-safe jars or containers with lids.
  2. Crush the strawberries using a potato masher or immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency. You should have about 4 cups of crushed fruit.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the crushed strawberries with the powdered fruit pectin. Stir constantly for 3 minutes. This step is important for the set.
  4. Gradually stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved. The mixture will look thin.
  5. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not skip this rest time; it helps the jam set.
  6. Pour the jam mixture into your prepared freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each container.
  7. Wipe the rims clean, seal the containers, and let them cool on the counter for about an hour.
  8. Place the containers in the freezer. The jam will be ready to eat after 24 hours in the freezer.
  9. Store the jam in the freezer for up to one year for the best flavor. Once thawed, keep it in the refrigerator and use it within 3 weeks.

Notes

  • This recipe uses standard powdered pectin and sugar for a reliable set. For a low sugar jam recipe, you must use a specific low-sugar pectin product and follow its directions exactly.
  • If you want a thicker set, you can let the mixture sit for up to 2 hours before jarring.
  • This recipe makes a small batch, perfect for testing or for gifts.
  • For year round fruit flavor, you can substitute strawberries with raspberries or peaches using the same method.
