Strawberry Freezer Jam

June 25, 2010 by Erica 12 Comments

Strawberry Freezer JamOverrun with strawberries

Are you overrun by strawberries? I am. I started a strawberry patch last summer with stray strawberry plants that were inadvertently donated by my neighbor, and I can’t keep up. The easiest thing I can do right now is make strawberry freezer jam.

My strawberry patch produces a mixture of sweet to tart berries, and together they make great jam (and I threw in a few very sweet store-bought strawberries as well).

When it’s warm, this jam is great over ice cream or other cold, creamy dessert. And when it’s cold, it’s great with yogurt, crackers, toast, ice pops, tarts, and in cookies.

Strawberry Freezer Jam

Servings: 32 tablespoons or 2 cups
Calories: 35kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 cups strawberries tops trimmed
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor, and blend until pureed. You can also mash them by hand with a potato masher.
  • Combine the mashed strawberries, lemon juice, and honey in a saucepan, and bring to a steady, low simmer.
  • Simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the volume decreases by about a 1/4.
  • Cool to room temperature, and place in tightly closed glass jars, or other containers, leaving some space at the top for freezing expansion. It will last in the fridge for a few weeks, or in the freezer for a few months.

    Can I do this with blackberries instead of strawberries, and other berries as well? Thanks for all your wonderful recipes!

      Yes. Blackberries seeds are not that great to crunch on though. I would remove them if possible.

    Hi Kylie. I don’t mind strawberry seeds, but if you want to get rid of them, you’ll probably need to run the crushed strawberries through a food mill. The nice thing about a Vita-Mix is that if you run it at a high speed, it will break down the seeds – this works with raspberry seeds, so it will probably work with strawberries.
