strawberry freezer jam

I don't do step by step instructions much, but I wanted to show how simple this is for anyone who hasn't tried making freezer jam.

Wash Strawberries

Remove stems

Crush them, one layer at a time

Measure out amount called for in recipe, set aside
Whisk pectin into apple juice (no sugar pectin calls for juice)

Bring to a boil that you can't stir down

Pour into strawberries (don't take a picture while doing this, because you'll miss the bowl) and stir
Add sugar (if using) and stir. Usually I do half the sugar of regular jam, but I used agave this time (no picture sorry).

Ladle into containers (one day I'll have one of those awesome wide mouth canning funnels)
And you're done. Refrigerate over night too cool and then place in freezer until ready to use. Mmmm

LOVE IT. Especially the part where you say not to attempt taking a picture... aka, do not try this at home, I am a trained professional. ;)
