Easy Strawberry Jam
2 cups crushed strawberries*
4 cups sugar
1 box SURE-JELLĀ® Fruit Pectin
3/4 cup water
1. MIX strawberries and sugar thoroughly. Set aside 10 minutes.
2. STIR SURE-JELLĀ® with water in saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.
3. STIR mixtures together UNTIL SUGAR IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED AND NO LONGER GRAINY, about 3 minutes. Pour into plastic containers; cover. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator or freeze extra containers. Thaw in refrigerator.
Makes about 5 (1 cup) containers.
*Buy 1 quart, crush fruit, measure exact amount.
IMPORTANT: Measure sugar and fruit exactly; do not change amounts or jam will not set properly. A potato masher works best for crushing strawberries.
