We’ve been eating our fair share of strawberries around here. Might have something to do with little munchkin’s way of asking for them.
Before the summer peaches roll in, I decided buy an extra large batch for freezer jam, the simplest way to make the biggest difference to breakfast toast.
Yes, you heard right… making your own jam is simple!
No longer is homemade jam only held in reserve for domestic-divas.
Nowadays, jam stays closest to its raw form (no cooking required) and can be enjoyed only 30 minutes after making.
So if you’ll excuse me…
Up popped my toast.
Freezer jam??? That’s kinda genius. I want to make my own fruit-sweetened jam so I can have homemade jam that doesn’t make me feel ill (me + sugar = not a good formula), but didn’t want to go to the effort for just one jar. I am loving the idea of freezing jam, which had totally never occurred to me before!
Where did you find your recipe? That recipe I used to make freezer jam (I actually made some last week for the first time) called for 2 cups strawberries, 4 cups sugar. Wow, your recipe would be much better for me.
Is there a reason why you used plastic lids?
this recipie makes how many pints of jam?
