2 pints strawberries about 4 cups ▢4 cups sugar ▢1 1.75 oz box Sure Jell fruit pectin yellow box ▢¾ cup water
Strawberries are de-stemmed and immediately rinsed.
In a large basin, mash or process the strawberries with a potato masher or food processor. NOTE: Do not puree the produce; jam should contain small pieces.
Stir sugar into the fruits thoroughly. Allow to rest for ten minutes while agitating intermittently.
Add pectin and a quarter cup of water to a small container set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and, stirring constantly, allow to simmer for one to two minutes. Eliminate from heat.
Combine the strawberry mixture with the pectin mixture. Approximately three minutes, or until the sugar is entirely dissolved, stir continuously.
Transfer the contents into glass jars or plastic containers that have been prepared in advance, leaving a quarter-inch space at the uppermost point to accommodate expansion that may occur during freezing. Implement covers.
