freezer jam




Sharing a family favorite.
Most certainly this falls towards the "dessert" catagory in our home.


I love this particular recipe because it has the zest of an orange and a touch of lemon juice.


I took the packaged strawberries you get from costco (4 lbs), cut  them up slightly, and then pulsed them in my food processor.


Added the zest of 1 orange.


Add 4 cups sugar.


1 tablespoon of lemon juice.  Use fresh if you can.


Add 1 packet liquid pectin.  Mix and pour into jars.  Freeze after 1 hour of sitting out in room temp.
Take jars out of freezer and place into fridge for a few hours or overnight when you need another one.
My batch made 5-6 jars full.  Varies with jar sizes.


ENJOY!!!!!!
