Homemade Strawberry Jam- YUM!

Ok, so I've never been one to put recipes on my blog, but here goes! ;)
I recently had an emergency situation when I realized we were finishing off our LAST jar of jam. We use homemade strawberry jam EVERY day. On toast, on waffles, & on PB & J's of course! In fact, Noah has a PB&J 95% of the time for lunch. He'd have an utter meltdown if he knew it was gone. We could not survive the winter if it was gone!
I knew we were getting low and bought a case of strawberries back in March. Then I had my March Madness Kidney Stone from Hell week. I froze the strawberries before they molded and they've slowly been gobbled up with smoothies. On one morning a week or so ago, with less than 1/2 a jar left, I told the kids, "Come on! We're going to Sam's Club right now!! Get in the car!" I had to buy strawberries before they were gone or no longer on sale and I had to buy them right then so I'd have all day to make jam. LOTS of jam. We now have a good 15-16 jars to last us till spring, what peace that brings!

Strawberry Freezer Jam

Strawberries, pectin, lemon juice, sugar, light corn syrup.


Cut the tops of the strawberries and fill blender 3/4 way full.


Blend them up till fairly smooth, then add 1/4 cup lemon juice. Blend again. Slowly add packet of pectin while blending. (I do it through the hole in lid while turned on)

For the next 30 minutes, blend every 5 minutes. (for just a min or so)
After 30 minutes and 6 times of blending, add the cup of Karo Syrup. Blend well.

Pour strawberry mixture over 4 1/2 cups of sugar. YUM the sweetness!


Mix well! Until sugar is completely dissolved.

Pour jam into 4-5 jars or container of any size. Plastic or glass. Put on lids and into the freezer they go. You can also use a jar right away, it will just be runnier.

ENJOY! We sure will!

Here's the Recipe:
Measure 4 1/2 cups sugar in large bowl and set aside.
Wash & cut tops off strawberries.
Puree in blender, making 3 1/4 cups of blended strawberries.
Add 1/4 cup of Lemon Juice
Gradually pour in one box of pectin into blender, mix thoroughly.
Let set for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes with blender.
Pour in 1 cup corn syrup, blending well.
Pour strawberry mixture into the sugar and mix well, making sure sugar dissolves.
Pour into Tupperware type containers or glass jars, label & place in freezer. :)
