There's something magical about a fresh picked strawberry: the sun on your back, the sound of bumble bees buzzing around your head and the occasional berry that "falls" into your mouth is a great way to spend the afternoon. Head off and go pick some strawberries, then come home and make some yummy jam. Just make sure the kids have old clothes on, because they are sure to come home with plenty of berry stains. Here's a great freezer jam to try with all those red delights you will be bringing home.
Ingredients:
2 cups crushed fresh strawberries
4 cups sugar
1 package pectin
3/4 cups water
Directions:
Mix crushed
strawberries with sugar, and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir
the pectin into the water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium-high heat, and boil for 1 minute. Stir the boiling water into
the strawberries. Allow to stand for 3 minutes before pouring into jars
or other storage containers.
Place tops on the containers, and leave for 24 hours. Place into freezer, and store frozen until ready to use.
