It wasn’t until I was in college that I tried freezer jam. Can you believe I had lived my entire life until then without any? Crazy. So I would like to take a minute to thank my roommates, it was either Cami, or Chelsea who brought some from home and changed my bagel eating life. This was my staple meal while in school, a plain toasted bagel, with slightly melted plain cream cheese and piled with strawberry freezer jam.
It doesn’t get any better than this….
Paul took the bigger kids to the Astro’s game, I had the little kids and 10 pounds of strawberries that I found for .99 cents a pound.
Hmmmm, what to do with my night??
Park the little kids at the table with coloring books and get busy!
This is the easiest yummiest most satisfying thing that you can preserve. Take the tops off your strawberries. Toss them into your food processor or a large bowl. Pulse them slowly until they are in small chunks, or mash with a potato masher until smashed.
Don’t over smash them or esp. in the food processor, don’t kill them! Just small pieces will work!
For every 2 pounds of strawberries mashed, I used 1 1/2 cups sugar and one packet freezer jam fruit pectin.
I got all the supplies from Wal-mart. I love the nifty little freezer jars they had. Are these new? I have not seen them before and thought they were really cool. I had to try them out and was in LOVE!
This is super quick to make, abut 40 minutes and 9 pounds of strawberries later I had this stash to throw into the freezer. Enough to last us for the next few weeks…. just kidding the next month or so 
It last up to a year in the freezer or a month or so in the fridge.

If you have not had freezer jam on a bagel with cream cheese, do yourself a favor and make some this summer!
How do you use a large amount of fruit in the summer? Do you can? Make freezer jam? Share some good recipes or a link to your site if you have canned or put up something!

I usually just go to your house and see what you've made.
Never heard of freezer jam! I'm going to ask my husband to go to Walmart while he is Fl and look for the jars and freezer pectin to bring back. I was planning to make regular jam so it'll be fun to make some of this too!
I am a Pampered Chef consultant in Tucson, AZ and all I could think when I saw your giant pile of strawberries is how much easier it would have been if you had a Core 'n More. It is a nifty tool for pulling off the stem of the strawberry; it also works well on tomatoes and taking eyes off of potatoes. If I have an extra one, can I send it your way?

I just discovered your blog but absolutely love it : )
those containers are neat looking. i want to try that.
i tried making freezer jam as a teenager once. I might re try it
I made several batches as well and tried several kinds of pectin. I liked the Ball's version that you used the best and it was the least expensive.
Just so you know!
