I originally posted this recipe for Strawberry Freezer Jam back in 2012, and it's been a reader favorite ever since, with hundreds of 5-star reviews over the years. Once you try this fabulous, super-easy Strawberry Freezer Jam, you'll be spoiled for life. I call it "springtime in a jar"! This recipe is made with liquid pectin, giving you fresh, vibrant flavor and a perfectly set jam every time.

Prefer powdered pectin?

My freezer is getting restocked this week with glistening, labeled jars of this fabulous Strawberry Freezer Jam, and I thought you might want to make some too... before the fleeting local strawberry season disappears!

A perfect recipe for beginners!

If you've never made jam before, this Strawberry Freezer Jam is a wonderful place to start. It's super easy, made with liquid pectin, and doesn't require any canning knowledge. We've created a quick video to show you just how simple the process is. Take a look!

As you can see in the video, there's no water bath, canning pots, or sealing techniques involved (as in traditional jam-making methods). Simply stir together the jam, ladle it into clean jars or containers, then pop them in the freezer, and you're done. It really is that simple!

Common freezer jam problems

There are two potential problems people sometimes run into when making freezer jam:

  1. A grainy consistency. Because freezer jam isn't cooked like traditional jam, it can sometimes be difficult to fully dissolve the sugar. If the sugar isn't completely dissolved, the finished jam can have a "grainy" or "sandy" texture.
  2. The jam doesn't set (thicken) properly. It's frustrating to go through all the effort of making jam and end up with a batch that doesn't set.

How to make freezer jam that's not grainy

I've been making Strawberry Freezer Jam for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I've developed a few simple steps to prevent that "grainy" texture:

  • A short stint in the microwave helps dissolve much of the sugar without actually cooking the mixture (which would dull the fresh flavor and color).
  • Be sure to stir the jam well... as in VERY WELL. Don't cheat on the stirring time, both before and after adding the pectin. I like to set a timer to make sure I'm stirring for the full instructed time. This is also a great project to give to kids; they'll enjoy being part of the process and will be so proud of those beautiful jars lined up on the counter.
  • Don't follow the instructions on the pectin packet. According to the package directions, the jam is supposed to be ready for ladling into jars in 20 minutes, but it usually takes quite a bit longer for the sugar to fully dissolve into the berry mixture. (It's mostly hands-off time; perfect for doing other things around the house.)

How to make sure your jam thickens

  • This problem can occur with traditional jams and jellies, but seems to be more prevalent with freezer jam. The same simple tricks that prevent graininess will also help ensure your jam sets properly. When the sugar is fully dissolved, the jam will thicken beautifully when combined with the liquid pectin.
  • Don't cheat on the measurements. Jam-making is more of an exact science than everyday cooking, and the proportions of fruit to sugar really matter. Don't add extra berries just because you have them; save those for snacking or an ice cream topping instead.
  • Check the date on your pectin. Pectin can lose its effectiveness over time, so if it's expired, discard it! (I've had jam that didn't set because my pectin was old.)
  • Be sure to use all of the liquid pectin. I use Certo, which comes with two foil packets in each box. It's important to squeeze out every last bit... I like to roll the packet as I go to make sure nothing is left behind.

How to make this Strawberry Freezer Jam

This strawberry freezer jam requires minimal hands-on time. Here's a quick overview of the process: (You'll find the full recipe below in the recipe card.)

Step 1: Prep the strawberries
Wash and hull fresh strawberries.

Step 2: Chop or pulse the berries
Chop by hand or use a food processor - don't puree, you want a chunky consistency.

Step 3: Combine with sugar
Combine strawberries and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Measure carefully.

Step 4: Stir
Stir well for 1 minute. The mixture will look cloudy.

Step 5: Microwave
3 minutes on high power is our magic secret. The fruit mixture warms just enough to nicely dissolve the sugar.

Step 6: Stir and wait
Let the mixture sit, stirring occasionally. You'll see the color deepen, which means the sugar is dissolved!

Step 7: Ladle into jars and enjoy!
The fun part! Fill your jars, then sit back and admire the beautiful crimson sunshine!

Serve it, gift it, make it!

Café Tips for making this Strawberry Freezer Jam
  • Be sure to review the tips above for avoiding graininess and ensuring your jam sets properly.
  • Although there's very little hands-on time, make this Strawberry Freezer Jam on a day when you'll be around the house. You'll need to give it a good stir every 30 minutes to help the sugar dissolve.
  • To ensure success, don't be tempted to reduce the sugar in this recipe. It's not just for sweetness; it also plays an important role in how the jam sets. That said, there are low- and no-sugar pectins available. If you choose to use one of those, be sure to follow the directions on the package.
  • One way to tell the jam is ready for the pectin is when the color deepens to a rich red. If your mixture still looks cloudy, give it more stirring time or another short stint in the microwave. The other way is to take a little taste of the strawberry/sugar mixture - there shouldn't be any sugar crystals remaining.
  • This recipe is designed specifically for liquid pectin (I use Certo). If you'd prefer to use powdered pectin, you can find a separate step-by-step recipe for that method here.
  • Check the label on your liquid pectin before buying to make sure it's not expired; it can lose its thickening power over time.
  • Don't skip the lemon juice. It contains natural pectin that works together with the liquid pectin to help the jam set properly.
  • If freezing in glass jars, leave about a half-inch of space at the top to allow for expansion. (I've done this for years without any issues!)
  • You can also use plastic storage containers if preferred.
  • Store the jam in the refrigerator or freezer when not in use.
  • The jam won't fully set right away, which is why it rests at room temperature for 24 hours. (Plus, it's fun seeing those beautiful jars lined up on the counter!)
  • Very ripe berries (with soft spots) don't make the best jam, as their natural pectin levels are lower.
  • As the jam sets, you may notice the fruit rising to the top. This is normal, just give each jar a stir once it begins to thicken.
  • I love these Weck jars, they make beautiful gifts and a lovely presentation for this Strawberry Freezer Jam. The other jars featured in this post are these vintage beaded jars and these beautifully shaped glass jars.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries , this will equal approximately the 2 cups of crushed berries necessary for the recipe.
  • 3 ounces liquid fruit pectin, I use one pouch of Certo, which is readily available at most larger supermarkets. One pouch is 3 ounces or 88ml.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, bottled lemon juice will also work

Instructions
 

For the prep:

  1. To ensure success, read the post and the Café Tips and FAQs in the post above before starting this recipe.
  2. Wash and rinse glass jars (or plastic containers) and lids in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

For the jam:

  1. Stem and crush strawberries. I use a potato masher but you can also pulse the berries on and off a few times in a blender or food processor - just be sure you leave it a little chunky. 1 quart fresh strawberries (NOTE: start with a quart of whole strawberries to yield 2 cups of crushed berries.)
  2. Measure exactly 2 cups of the prepared fruit into a large microwave-safe bowl. (Use a dry measuring up to measure the crushed strawberries and level it off at the top with a flat-edge knife - don't be tempted to use extra berries!)
  3. Add the 4 cups of sugar and stir well for 1 minute. (Again, measure the sugar precisely, using a dry measuring up and leveling it off. You can also weigh the sugar. It should be 800g ) 4 cups granulated white sugar
  4. Place the bowl in the microwave on high power for 3 minutes. (Mixture will not cook but will become warm enough for the sugar to dissolve). Remove from microwave and stir well for another minute.
  5. Allow the strawberry mixture to sit for 2 hours, stirring for 1 minute every 30 minutes.
  6. Taste to make sure the sugar is dissolved. If you taste any small sugar crystals, stir for another minute or two until the sugar is fully dissolved. (When the sugar is well-dissolved, the mixture will actually deepen in color, lose its "cloudiness," and you won't taste any sugar crystals).
  7. NOTE: If the sugar does not seem to be fully dissolved at this point, you can return the mixture to the microwave for another minute or two, stirring thoroughly afterward.
  8. Combine the liquid pectin and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add to the strawberry mixture; stir for 3 minutes (no cheating, set a timer). 3 ounces liquid fruit pectin, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  9. Ladle the jam into jars or containers to within ½ inch of the top. Don't fill any higher as the mixture will expand a bit in the freezer.
  10. Wipe off the top edges of containers and cover with the lids. Let it stand at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the jam to completely thicken.

To store:

  1. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks or in the freezer for up to a year.

Notes

Café Tips for making this Strawberry Freezer Jam
    • You'll need liquid pectin for this recipe. I use Certo.
    • Prefer powdered pectin? See my Strawberry Freezer Jam using powdered pectin recipe.
    • Feel free to use frozen berries for this jam, but be sure to thaw them fully and crush them before measuring.
    • Don't try to reduce the sugar in this recipe! The sugar isn't just for sweetness; it's essential to help the jam set. If you prefer a lower sugar option, use a low-sugar or no-sugar pectin and follow the package directions (not this recipe).
    • Don't skip the lemon juice! Lemon juice is important for helping the pectin work properly. It also brightens the flavor.
    • Sometimes there will be a separation as jam begins ot set and the berries will float to the top. This is normal. If you notice separation, just give the jam a stir, and the fruit will stay suspended.
    • You may notice that your jam takes on a whitish cast in the freezer. No worries, it's just a temporary change in color due to freezing. When you're ready to use it, just let it thaw and the pretty red color will return.

    1. Hi Melanie, yes, you can use the stovetop. Just warm the berry mixture over medium heat until the sugar begins to dissolve. You don’t want to boil it, just get it nice and warm.

    1. Hi France, We have not tested this recipe with Sure-Jell MCP pectin. The Sure-Jell website states that this product is NOT interchangeable with the original Sure-Jell product in the yellow box, which is the powdered pectin recommended for this recipe. If you do try the MCP variety, we recommend that you follow the instructions on the box. Hope this turns out well for you! And the labels are on the way to your inbox - Enjoy!

  9. Strawberry jam recipe is a favorite with our family! Recently, I made four batches and used last year's pectrin ( 3 months expired) for three batches and the fourth batch with a new pouch of pectin. The results are three runny batches and one perfect batch. Any suggestions on how to salvage jam?

    Reply

    1. Hi Andy, Thanks for the great review, and sorry to hear about your issue with old pectin and runny jam! That's always so frustrating. Though we haven't tested this method with this recipe, one idea for salvaging runny jam is to reboil it with added pectin and a little sugar or lemon juice. For 4 cups of runny jam, try adding 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of powdered pectin, then boil for 10 minutes until set. Hope this helps!

  17. Would love to have the link for the printable labels. TIA. I made this recipe last summer and I'm already out of my jam - husband gives them away like candy...that's how good this jam is.

    I'm stuck in during snow-zilla and so wanted to make more of this jam but have only the low/no sugar pectin in the house. If I keep the sugar equal to the recipe and use the low sugar pectin, what will go wrong and what's the workaround? Thanks!

      I'm so happy you have enjoyed this recipe!
      Regarding your question, I honestly don't have any experience with low sugar pectin but I would be afraid to take the risk as each pectin is designed to be successful with the given proportions of sugar and fruit.

  25. I followed the instructions exactly and measured everything precisely but I can’t get the sugar to dissolve no matter how much I stir. I even tried to microwave it again hoping that would help but it’s still grainy and if I let it sit for a while I get a sugar slurry settled on the bottom. What am I doing wrong?

    Reply

    1. Hi Hailey, it may be that your berries weren't super juicy. I would keep using the microwave trick with a really good stir afterwards until the sugar is dissolved.

    2. I am 65 years old and have never made jam or pickles or canning veggies. So I made the strawberry freezer jam today! Used the liquid pectin and followed directions to a T. When it went in the jars it was a tad bit loose, will it firm up overnight? This was the best recipe that I found online, and I looked at many many many... I have been planning this for over a month. Just hope my hubby doesn't get botulism.

      Reply

      1. Hi Barb, congratulations on your first jam!! Freezer jam is always a little looser than regular jam but it should not be like a sauce. Hopefully it did firm up for you, that's the purpose of the overnight stint.

    1. Hi Kathy, thanks for letting me know. The calculator is actually a default part of the recipe for our reader's convenience. However, with jams and jellies, I don't recommend doubling. To ensure success, it's better to make a single batch at a time - just so you know for the future.

  85. can I use this recipe but can it method instead of freezer? so at end of the 2 hours do the warm water bath so lid seals

    Reply

    1. Hi Carmen, no, I’m sorry, this recipe is not suitable for canning. You would need to go with a recipe that’s been designed to go through a hot water bath. This one is not safe for that.

  91. Tried this recipe & loved it.
    I did use my blender on pulse.
    I suggest using potato masher instead. Even on pulse it was a bit more pureed than I wanted. Still set and tasted great! I've made 4 batches and the berries are still coming!

        1. Stir it really well, put it back in the microwave for 3 minutes then stir again. You may have a few sugar grains but once you add the pectin and lemon juice and stir for 3 minutes, you'll be good to go!

  97. Hello! This is my 3rd year making this recipe and I love it! This year, I made it and it set great on the countertop. It's been in the freezer about a week and I noticed it's cloudy looking but still appears to be set. I haven't had this happen before. Is this something that I should be concerned about and why does it happen?

    1. Hi Hannah, sometiems when the jam freezes, tiny ice crystals form. No worries though - when you thaw the jam they will be gone and the jam will be fresh and delicious!

    1. Hi Hannah, yes you can make this without a microwave. Simply warm the strawberry sugar mixture on the stovetop. You don't want to cook it, just heat enough to dissolve the sugar.

      Reply

  107. I am using fresh strawberries and they are very juicy. Should I incorporate all the liquid with it? I am just using a potato masher so there is lots of chunks but also lots of liquid. Will all this liquid make it not be good for the jam?

    Reply

    1. Hi Hannah, juicy berries will work fine. Just make sure you measure carefully. If you want more fruit in your jam you could discard (or use for another purpose) some of the juice and add more berries. Just keep the 2 cups measurement.

  119. I make at least 4-5 batches of this every year since you posted it-it's sooooo good. I have a question though-I normally just make one batch at a time but I am a bit handicapped this year and I think I'll have trouble stirring that many batches. Do you think I could double up them (just double, not triple), and I would obviously follow the same exact instructions, other than making two at a time?? Please let me know soon as possible as I'm picking up my strawberries on Tuesday morning. Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Hi Brenda, I wish I could say yes, but to ensure success (with setting), doubling jam recipes is not recommended. Wish I could come and help you stir! Perhaps you could space the batches a few days apart?

      Reply

      1. thanks for responding so quickly. What's your thought on me using my large Kitchenaid to do the stirring? I would use it on low or a little above and use the flat blade (not the whip). I didn't think to ask you this until now, so hopefully you'll see this asap *grin*. Thanks again

At the end of breakfast, one said, "That's the best strawberry jam I've ever tasted!" As they were leaving, two came to me and asked if I had any extra jars of jam they could take back to the dorm. I went to my freezer and gave each a jar to take with them. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

    Does this jam harder like solid in the freezer?
    Anither question,
    Have you ever tried to make it with pectin powder? I see you said to use liquid but I wonder if you tried before and didn't like it for some reason.

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Licorice, this jam freezes but not solid.
      Liquid and powdered pectic are not interchangeable. It's best to use a recipe that's been created for either liqiuid or powdered pectin.
      I like both powdered and liquid pectin equally and plan to add a powdered pectin recipe to this page sometime in the next month.

    2. I made your recipe yesterday in two batches. I thought about it when I didn't hear from you immediately, thank goodness! I even made the labels and laminated them. My jam is still on the counter (in the jars) until 6 pm tonight. I just peeked at one and I see a little foamy stuff on the top. Is this normal? When I made the Queens Jam, I didn't have the foam.

Does the jam in the glass jar actually have to go into the freezer after sitting for 24 hours on the counter of can it go straight in the fridge if you plan on using right away?

    1. Hi Kristin, give it a good stir and the fruit will stay suspended now. I think it should be fine. If it's too thick after you stir it, let me know.

The directions were thorough and well written and full of helpful hints and suggestions.

What I was just thinking about, however, was how to get it just a bit thicker. I was going to call my aunt and ask if she had advice, but then I saw this. So, that all being said, I hope this final result will give it just that bit better thickness, but I also wondered if this is cannable? I'd also like the labels. Thanks!

Hopefully we will be successful and have a product we can proudly label

    1. Hi Robbie, not sure what went wrong without having been there in the kitchen with you. As you can read from the comments, so many others have enjoyed and have had great success with this recipe. That being said, jam is very sweet. You might be better off going with one of the low-sugar or no-sugar pectins and following the directions on the package.

    1. Hi Amy, you could use the stovetop to warm the fruit/sugar mixture till it's dissolved. Just don't let it come to a boil.

  434. Thank you for this wonderful Strawberry Jam recipe. As in every other recipe of yours (and I have made many of them) this jam is fabulous. Your tips are so helpful but I wound up breaking a few of them. I had so many strawberries in the freezer and they thawed into exactly 4 cups so I doubled everything including the time in the microwave for a gorgeous super tasty jam.
    May I please have your labels for your jam and for your Lemon Curd which is also outstanding.
    Thank you!

  437. I have never been able to get my jam to set, it's always a runny mess! did this method last night and this morning even before the 24 hour mark if I turn the jars upside down they are SOLID, don't move at all. Thank you for this recipe! I am curious, does this work with peaches? We have a peach tree and I would love to be able to put up lots of peach freezer jam this fall!

  440. I have read everything about this freezer jam and it sounds absolutely Wonderful. But About a week ago, I bought a half a flat a fresh Oregon strawberries and I froze them Because I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with him at that point & I didn’t have any time. So I washed and froze them.
    My question is, will this work with frozen strawberries and should I let them thaw first &
    then mash them? Because Real fresh naturally raised strawberries, always mush up when they thaw. So will it be the same wonderful outcome is my question. Or do I Need to go out and buy another 1/2 flat of strawberries.

    1. Hi Amy, this recipe will work with frozen berries. Let the berries thaw completely and crush them. Then measure exactly 2 cups.

  486. YOUR RECIPE IS MOST DEFINITELY
    A *****TEN STAR***** RECIPE!!
    I've made Strawberry freezer jam many many times in the past. After my two girls were grown with children and moved away to another state, I stopped canning and freezing. I had divorced, my kids were gone, so I didn't feel the need. But at 63, I decided this year, that I want some for ME and a few friends. My daughters took my recipes which leads me to searching online. I found this one, tried it and love ìt. As a matter of fact I'm gonna make some more tonight. Your helpful hints are awesome. The microwave stint was great!! As you know how hard it is to get the sugar to dissolve. It's not a must if you no longer have the pretty labels but if you do still have them and find the time, I'd use them. Thanks so very much for sharing your recipe. I'm gonna look to see if you have a recipe for peach and blueberry freezer jam after I finish the strawberry. Again, thank you!

  488. Chris,
    Just double checking, I may have read it wrong, But do you use 1 quart (4 cups) of berries for this jam? Under ingredients it says 1 quart, and under instructions it says measure 2 cups fruit?
    Thank you,
    Terri

    Reply

    1. Hi Terri, yes that is correct. You start with a quart because the 2 cups are crushed fruit and the measurement needs to be exact.

I made two batches of this freezer jam (before making 5 more batches of regular jam) sinply because of limited freezer space 🙂 The recipe is the same as the one in the Certo package, but your tips of using the microwave made a big difference!!

      1. Hi Rene, no, this recipe is not appropriate for other fruits as other fruits have differing proportions of sugar and fruit. To ensure succes, it's best to follow a recipe that's been created for that particular fruit.
        That being said, we have lots of jam and jelly recipes!

    1. Hi Kathy, I would use the strawberry jam recipe with strawberries. It's okay if they're good-quality frozen berries. Each jam has differing proportions of sugar and fruit so it's best to stick with each specific recipe to ensure success.

  619. I have just finished your recipe for the strawberry freezer jam.🍓.

Now I’d like to request your cute labels 💖

  622. Oh my gosh! I am making the jam as soon as I get this written.It will go with your delicious biscuits. I am 77 years old and have never made
    freezer jam until I read your recipe. If they turn out as good as your biscuits,then I will give them out at Christmas with the biscuits as well!

  633. At what point do you do the microwaving? After the sugar has been blended with the strawberries, or after all the ingredients have been added and the mixture is ready to start the 2 hour resting period?

    Reply

      1. i am sorry, but i do not have the recipe and the jam has already been made, and it is not setting up adequately. I was hoping maybe we could pour it out of the jars and possibly microwave it for a bit and put it back into the jars?
        Could we simply microwave it in the jars for a couple of minutes if we let it thaw out, and then refreeze it?

        Reply

  634. Hello!! I used your blackberry jam recipe and I’m going to use this for strawberry jam tonight! Could I also please get the labels? So much easier than writing on the tops of the lids for me!

    Reply

  635. Hi Chris! Can this, and your other freezer jams be made with frozen berries? Fresh, local ones are in short supply, due to the wildfires here in Alberta, and those in BC. Unfortunately, our imports are abysmal, with the strawberries being half white, and the other kinds being virtually flavorless. Sure would be nice to have another option! Thanks in advance, and blessings to you and yours!

    I'd love the pdf for the labels, please and thanks.

  637. Hi there! I tried this recipe for my first ever jam making adventure! It has set very firm and it is incredibly grainy! I do not know what to do to fix it! Please help!!

    Reply

    1. Hi Steffany, it's difficult to say what went wrong without having been right there in the kitchen with you. I suspect that the sugar did not dissolve as that's what makes jam grainy. You could try dumping it into a big microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 3 minutes, stirring very well afterward. Take a taste and make sure it is not grainy then transfer it back to clean jars.

      Reply

      1. Thank you. I will try that - microwaving it again for 3 mins and stirring a lot. Guess I can’t damage it any more. It’s also very thick. Does that mean I need more berries?

        Reply

        1. I wouldn't add more berries. If it still seems thick after you microwave it, you could add a splash of water.

    Reply

  646. WOW!! I can't believe how well this recipe works. I have been making freezer jam for many many years and at first had no issues....then things started to go south. The sugar wouldn't dissolve and the jam wouldn't set properly. I called the certo people who couldn't really help me out and then I thought I'd google a few questions about freezer jam and you popped up. Fantastic. The microwave dissolves the sugar beautifully and I am now in the 2 hr. waiting and stirring game. It is already completely dissolved but I shall follow the recipe to the tee. I never thought to use tiny mason jars for freezing but will use some tonight to have a pretty result. I really appreciate all your tips and am excited to have the completed product.
    Many, many thanks and yes I'd love to have your labels!! Definitely going to be 5 stars!!

    1. Hi Cindy,
      Hi, to ensure success, it would be better to use the recipe on the powdered pectin box as the two types of pectin are not interchangeable and the method is different. You could use the tips we have in this post for dissolving the sugar, however.

    Reply

    1. Hi Sharon, to ensure success, it would be better to use the recipe on the box rather than this one. Liquid and powdered pectin are not interchangeable and call for different proportions of fruit and sugar. With low sugar and no sugar pectins, it's important to follow the manufacturer's directions, NOT this recipe. This recipe was designed to be successful with regular liquid pectin.

  747. I loved the simplicity of this recipe almost as much as the taste! Made it last year and just made a batch a day ago and noticed it did not set. However, I believe this was my fault. I wanted a lower sugar jam so reduced sugar in half. Do you suppose that was the reason? What a shame it looks and tastes beautiful but will run off toast or biscuits lol. Thank you for the recipe and any advice on a reduction in sugar content!

    Reply

    1. Hi Stacey, yes, reducing the amount of sugar can definitely cause the jam to turn out runny. To ensure success, it's important to measure exactly with this recipe. That being said, there are low-sugar and no-sugar pectins available. However, I would follow the directions and proportions given with those pectins to make sure you have good results.

  753. Silly question…. Do you not cook this jam over the stove? Is the only cooking process in the microwave for 3 minutes?

    Reply

    1. Hi Melona, yes that is correct. In most recipes, freezer jam is not cooked at all. I like to do the stint in the microwave, just to warm the jam so the sugar will dissolve. The dissolved sugar helps the pectin to work to set the jam.

  758. This recipe did not work for me. I am so sad, we love freezer jam. We set a timer and everything. My daughter said that it was good but described it as having a jello consistency . I did add some water to the jar in the fridge. and gave it a good stir but was disappointed that it was so thick. Anything else I can do to make it less thick?

    Reply

    1. So sorry you had problems with this recipe, Amy, but being too thick is a good problem to have. If it doesn't set and it's very thin, there's not much you can do to thicken it, however, too thick isn't as much of an issue. I would dump it out of the jars into a microwave-safe bowl, add a little hot water, just a tablespoon at a time and stir after each addition. When it thins out a bit, I would microwave it for a minute or two then return it to the jars and let it set up. Don't add too much water though, just a little at a time.

  759. I just finished making the strawberry jam following the recipe precisely. I found it better to measure the sugar in grams because there was significant variability in the measuring cups even with Lebling. I would love a set of your beautiful strawberry jam labels. Thank you.

  764. Hi .. this is my first attempt using your recipe. I've made freezer jam in the past but did notice the grittiness. I let it sit longer and stirred it more often. I didn't even think of microwaving which makes perfect sense. We'll be enjoying it tomorrow (strawberries are prepared now). Thanks and also, could I have the labels .. ..

  770. Your jam sounds wonderful. Do you feel the sugar could be cut down and it still come out with the correct consistency? I was thinking 3 cups should be plenty? I would also love to have the labels.

    Reply

    1. Hi Carole, to ensure success, I do not advise cutting back on the sugar for this recipe. The sugar is not just for sweetness but has a lot to do with the set. If you prefer a lower-sugar jam it would be better to use a low-sugar pectin and go with the recipe on the box rather than this one.

    1. Hi Maggie, I don't have a recipe for sugar-free freezer jam and have never tried any of the recipes out there so I can't advise you regarding which one would be good.

  791. Hi I live in the UK and your cups and pints are different to ours, can I weigh my strawberries instead of measuring them? If so, if 4 cups sugar is 800gm would 1quart strawberries be 400gms?
    I would love your labels please.....Thank you

    Reply

    1. Hi Norah, since the exact amount is so important to ensure success I would suggest you purchase a 1 cup (8-ounce) measuring cup. Crushed berries are going to weight a different amount than sugar just like a cup of feathers would weigh less than a cup of marbles. I have tried to look up the metric weigh of one cup of crushed strawberries (different than 1 cup of sliced strawberries) but didn't have success. Next time I purchase strawberries, I will weigh a cup of crushed berries and add that weight to the recipe.

      Reply

      1. Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply, I'll do as you suggest and buy a set of measuring cups and have another go, I have to admit I couldn't wait to try as I'd already bought the strawberries so had a go with my measurements and once it was in the jars I ended up with the strawberries at the top and syrup at the bottom, not wasted though the syrup is lovely on ice cream, strawberries & cream and using the strawberries from the top on scones and clotted cream.
        I didn't get the labels and I would really love some please, they look so lovely.

I used organic berries and it’s fine as a strawberry syrup but I’d like to try to save it if possible thanks

    I'm making sure i understand. One quart of berries will yield 2 cups of mashed berries? So the ratio is 4 cups of sugar to 2 cups of berries and that makes 5-half-pints of jam. Am I correct? Thanks for sharing your recipes. I would also like the PDF for the labels.

      If you want to ensure success, stick with the recipe! The sugar not only is a sweetener but it helps with the setting process. If you prefer less sugar, it would be better to go with a different recipe that has been developed for low-sugar or no-sugar pectin.

  957. I followed your recipe exactly as written and after 20 hours the strawberry jam has not set up. The only thing different was I did not use freezer pectin, only regular Certo in a tube pectin). The recipe did not state to use freezer pectin ? Do you have any suggestions for how I might get this to set up ? Before putting into freezer. It’s a beautiful deep red color and looks delicious. Thank you, Theresa

  963. I made this for the first time and it was so easy! My jam set up within the first couple hours of the 24 hour period. Does that mean something is wrong? Do I still need to leave it on the counter for the full 24 hour period? Can I try it since it’s set up? Just a little anxious. Also, is it ok to double the recipe, or is it best to do single recipes (which is what I did)?

    Reply

    1. Hi Leslie, you can definitely try it now.
      You may want to let it sit out a little longer to ensure a good set.
      It's best not to double jam recipes. Just make two batches at the same time in separate jars.

  964. Love this recipe!! My grandmother used to make this exact jam every summer and she always had several jars in her freezer. I never got the recipe before she died. I am so glad I found your page!

    I would love to get the labels. My email is below.

    Reply

  965. I have made this recipe probably 10 times now. The last two times however, the jam has had a frothy/cloudy appearance- not the beautiful bright red that I love. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? I haven’t tasted the most recent batch yet, but I felt like the previous time (when it was cloudy-looking) it didn’t taste quite as good. I’m sure the error is on my end as I’ve had a lot of success with this recipe before, but thought you might be able to shed some light on the situation. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

    Reply

    1. Hi Kelly, this recipe is best made with seasonal berries and the results will be dependent on the quality of your berries. If you use grocery store berries that are kind of whitish inside, you could end up with inferior results.

      Reply

  966. Chris, I began using your method for making freezer jam last year, and it’s the best! I wanted to make this yesterday and add some orange zest to make it “Christmas-y”. Using frozen strawberries, it measured a bit less than 2 cups. Taking a chance, I used some cranberries I had on hand and put them in the food processor (about 1/4 cup), then followed your recipe as usual. This morning it’s perfectly set and so tasty. . Thank you for all your delicious recipes and helpful suggestions. Christmas blessings from Gray, TN.

    Reply

  994. Hi, so I made this & followed your directions and amounts perfectly. But, the jam is really “watery”. I have all but one jar sitting on the counter for the 24 hours, as in the directions. But I put one jar in the fridge to see if it jelled up some more, but it didn’t ☹️🤔. I was reading other recipes for Strawberry Freezer Jam & they say to boil the pectin (and lemon juice) for 1 solid minute, then mix with strawberries.
    So, did you forget to add that step to the directions? Or does leaving the jars on the counter for 24 hrs, cause it to jell somehow? I’ve made regular jam many times 🤔

    Reply

    1. Hi Michelle, I'm sorry you had trouble with this recipe - it's difficult to say what went wrong without having been right there in the kitchen with you. Sometimes the jam does take longer to set but it should be set up within 24 hours.

      The recipe is correct as written. Recipes that call for powdered pectin instruct to boil the pectin for 1 minute. This recipe calls for liquid pectin and you do not need to boil it. Powdered and liquid pectin are not interchangeable.

    2. Haven’t tried this yet but am excited to do so. I know strawberry season has past but will surely be doing this next year As you can still find strawberries in grocery is it still ok to do now? I would love some labels. If it turns out I am planning to give to others

      Reply

      1. Hi Pam, we'll be happy to send the labels.
        Regarding your question, the quality of your strawberries will determine the quality of your jam. So if you can find fabulous grocery store strawberries, go for it! If not, I would wait and make some other type of jam, that you can get good quality fruit for.

        Reply

    3. Hi, I also followed this recipe and it turned out delicious but very liquidy,..more like a sauce for icecrem then jam. Having reviewed this recipe with the one on the back of the certo box it woild appear that the 1 quart of strawberries (4 cups) is alot more then what it is calling for. Could that be an error?
      Thank you,..my family has enjoyed it very much just the same.

      Reply

      1. Hi Sandra, I'm so happy you've enjoyed the jam despite the fact that it didn't set properly.
        If you read the instructions, it says that you need to purchase 4 cups of whole strawberries but you only use two cups of CRUSHED berries. Check out step 3 in the instructions.
        Using more strawberries than is called for would be why it is liquidy.
        I have tried to clarify some things but these are exactly the same proportions as called for on the Certo box - 2 cups of crushed berries to 4 cups of sugar.
        Hopefully, you can enjoy this as a lovely sauce for ice cream, pancakes, etc!
        Kind regards,
        Chris

    1. Hi Judy, so happy you've enjoyed this recipe.

  1044. I’ve made lots of traditional jam but gave up on freezer jam years ago after getting a grainy result.
    Because I am now a full time caregiver to my Mom with Alzheimer’s disease I have very little time so I decided to try this recipe. (3 batches as I had lots of berries!)
    Wow, I was not disappointed!! It was so easy and with all of the great tips it turned out perfectly. And so much more vibrant and fresh then heat processed jam.
    The lemon helps with setting but I find adds a nice touch taste wise as well so it’s not stick in your throat too sweet.
    I’ll definitely be making this again and may just give some biscuits a whirl.
    Thank you from Northern Canada for such a well thought out recipe.

  1090. I have made your Pineapple Habanero , Apricot Jalapeño , Strawberry Balsamic Pepper, Raspberry and Apricot Jams, and all set up nicely. Yesterday I made plain Strawberry Freezer Jam, and it did not set up. I'm wondering if it was because the recipe did not say to mix the liquid pectin with a little water and bring it to a boil and all the other recipes did. Is there anything I can do now to get it to set up?

    Reply

    1. Hi DoLee, so sorry you had trouble with this.
      With liquid pectin, you do not need to add liquid, the liquid is already there. It's hard to say why it didn't set up as long as you measured carefully and made sure all of the sugar was dissolved. One other thought, did you check the date on the liquid pectin? I've had trouble when my pectin was too old.
      Certo actually has a fix that you could try: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/108039/remake-directions-for-certo-freezer-jam-jelly

  1111. I made the recipe and put the jam into the freezer yesterday. Is it normal for it to look cloudy after freezing? I don't think the jam has separated, because I see fruit all the way down to the bottom of the jars. It appears to be cloudy from the top to 1/2 to 2/3 of the way down the jars.

    Reply

    1. Hi Mary, that is perfectly normal. It's just a bit of frost. When you thaw the jam it will be a a lovely red color.

      1. A friend made this jam and gave me a jar. I thought I’d give her some labels. Would you send them to me so I can surprise her? P.S. it’s the nest strawberry jam I’ve ever had!!

  1114. Hello, I just found your recipe I’m looking forward to trying this method, we have a local produce stand that just got their late strawberry crop in and boy are the berries the sweetest I have tested, looking forward to using them in this recipe, yum! Thank you!

  1116. I love the sound of your recipe, but not sure why it says 1 quart of berries then later it says to add thee 2 cups of berries. I think you mean add all 4cups...

    Reply

    1. Hi Tracy, you will need to purchase 4 cups or 1 quart of strawberries so that you can have 2 cups of CRUSHED berries to make the jam. You may have a bit left over, but as I explain in the post, use exactly 2 cups of crushed berries and do read carefully the Café tips up above to ensure success. Enjoy!!

  1150. Hi I haven’t made jam in years and have never done freezer jam. My son has a farmers market near him that has the most beautiful sweet berries. I already froze one flat but I want to get another and am wondering if your recipe can be doubled or tripled or should they be done one batch at a time.
    Thanks, Jean

    Reply

    1. Hi Jean, I love that you have access to such wonderful berries! Regarding your question, it's best, to ensure great results, do make the jam in batches. I often have two or three bowls going at the same time. It's much easier to get the sugar dissolved that way. ENJOY!

  1151. Hello, Chris -- We are finally enjoying the long-awaited Oregon Hood strawberries here (3 weeks behind this season, due to an abnormally cold, wet Spring). Worth every bit of the wait (no better berry fresh off the plant than Hoods -- deep red all the way through, juicy & sweet, and so fragile they have a very short season, so not many growers provide them -- but once you've had them, no other variety will do. I am hoping to have enough left (after devouring most of them straight, and in shortcake & crepes!) --to make some of your jam. I may try the lovely jars you suggest -- and would love to have the labels pdf sent to me, to make them pretty, for gifting! Thank you for your recipe!

    1. Hi Arlene, I'm sorry your jam didn't set but it's hard to say why without having been right there in the kitchen with you. Two reasons that jam doesn't set are, as mentioned in the post, if you alter the exact proportions of sugar and/or fruit or if the sugar has not thoroughly dissolved before adding the pectin.
      Certo, the makers of liquid pectin have some advice for this that you could follow: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/107820/certo-cooked-jam-jelly-remake-directions
      If that doesn't work, you will have a delicious ice cream topping!

        1. Hi Linda, Sorry you be had trouble with this recipe but the jam should not be refrigerated. If you refrigerate it, the sugar will not dissolve. I would let it come back to room temperature then stir and microwave until it’s not grainy BEFORE adding the certo.

  1226. Hi, I'm interested in making this recipe but have a question about the amount of strawberries to use. The recipe calls for 1 quart (which is 4 cups) of strawberries, but then only 2 cups of the mashed strawberries is combined with the 4 cups of sugar and later the liquid pectin and lemon juice. I don't see mention of what to do with the remaining 2 cups of mashed strawberries, or am I reading the recipe wrong?

    Reply

    1. Hi Marissa, you will need to purchase or pick a quart (4 cups) of strawberries to equal right around 2 cups of crushed berries for the recipe. Measure exactly 2 cups of crushed berries (to ensure a good set), that's the important part. Enjoy!

  1294. We’re making ours today with some strawberries we picked over the weekend. If I double the recipe ingredients would you double the 1 minute stir time and 3 minute microwave and stir time as well? Since the post mentions to set a time for the stirring, I figured this probably matters enough to ask! 🙂

    1. Hi Corey, it’s best to NOT double jam recipes. Just use two bowls and follow the instructions given to ensure success.

    1. Hi Mary, just sent the labels.
      Regarding your question, as long as you froze them without any sugar, all you need to do is let them thaw then crush them and proceed with the recipe as directed. If you froze them with sugar, it gets a little trickier.

  1312. I made my first batch of freezer jam by the recipe in the Sure Jell box and while it was very good, it was too sweet. I then made your recipe, using the liquid pectin and lemon juice. I find it helped tone down the sweetness just enough to make it perfect! This will definitely be my go-to for years to come! Thank you!

  1317. Not sure what I did wrong but turned out really grainy. I microwaved 3 minutes. Then 1. Then 1 more etc. SEVEN total minutes. Stirred forever by timer. Tbought sugar was dissolved. But after finishing and overnighting it tasted Iike strawberry sugar. My strawberries were not the juiciest. Should I have added water? Going to try my instant pot next.

    Reply

    1. Hi Kathy, if your strawberries weren't juicy, that could definitely be the problem. It's best to use fresh, local berries for best results.
      Adding water can affect the set so that's a little tricky.
      I would say your best bet would be to microwave until the graininess disappears. If the berries weren't great to start with, that might take several more stints in the microwave.

  1391. Our strawberry stand opened last week and I've already been there. Need to run to the store for pecten, but can do that while the berries and sugar sit. I have been making freezer jam for years using powdered pecten and way too often it doesn't set, so I'm really anxious to try your recipe. Of course, I'm going to need those labels. I ordered a box of 30 jars from Amazon last week. I love the way freezer jam tastes so fresh. My problem is filling the freezer in my refrigerater with jam instead of healthy food. Thank you once again.

    I saw and saved this recipe last year to make jam....but never got around to doing it. Strawberry season is now in full bloom here in western North Carolina (and picking up on the border of South Carolina). I asked last time for labels and I believe you sent it to me but....can't find it. Could you please send again as I have a lovely huge basket sitting on my table waiting to be smooshed lol.
    Another question.....I do not have a microwave so could I just cook and stir on the stove? I made freezer jam a million years ago and that is what I did.

    1. Hi Amber, what a fun project! We're happy to sen the strawberry labels but we have a TON of other labels so we ask that readers request each one individually in the comment section of that particular post to help us keep organized.

    1. Hi Mary, we'll be happy to send the labels. If you want to make blueberry jam, it would be of different proportions. Right now, I don't have a recipe on the site for blueberry jam but that's a great suggestion for next summer. For now, I would follow the directions for blueberry jam on the pectin box.

  1475. So yummy and so easy!! I had to use defrosted frozen strawberries, because it's not really the right season up here in Maine, but it still tasted fresh and delicious! And your directions were perfect...not at all grainy, and it set up just right. Thank you! If I wanted to do a mixture of berries would I still use 2 cups (exactly) mashed?

    Reply

    1. Hi Jessica, each fruit is a little different in regards to pectin levels. I honestly would have to test the recipe before I answer your question to make sure it would set properly with a mixture of fruits.

  1476. This was the first recipe I tried and it was a huge success. I'm ever so grateful and since then I've tried many of your other offerings. Every one has been so easy and turned out so beautifully. I believe finding your recipes has been an enormous blessing. Thank You.

  1478. I tried a different no-cook recipe for strawberry jam and it didn't set. So disappointing. So now I'll try yours. One thing puzzles me, though. The other recipe called for half as much sugar as berries and it is plenty sweet and not grainy. Yours calls for twice as much sugar as berries. Is that really necessary? I'd love to have some of your labels.

    Reply

    1. Hi Carol , the recipe you tried might not have been a freezer jam or perhaps just a different recipe. In order to have success with this recipe you have to use the proportions given. If you prefer a recipe with less sugar, you’ll need to use a recipe designed for that. The sugar in this recipe not only ensures a good set, it also acts as a preservative.

  1484. Hi, I've used your recipe 3 times now. It is my youngest son's absolute favorite. The 1st two times it was perfect. This time when I froze it, it turned pink! I have a jar from my previous batch which is a beautiful vibrant red and all the ones from this batch are a weird pink color. Any ideas what could have happened? When I left them sit out they were a beautiful red, this only happened when I put them in the freezer, and I actually put them in 2 different freezers and it happened to all of them

    Thanks for any advice

    1. Hi Holly, this happens sometimes. I'm not sure if it's more air that's been incorporated in the jam but when you thaw it, it will get nice and red again!

  1487. Our local market had fresh strawberries from CA so I'm making your recipe as I send this message.

I thought the neighbors would love a jar or two for Christmas. Thank you so much.

  1490. I have made this and it’s fantastic! Thank you!
    Can you substitute the fruit for lemon, to make a lemon freezer jam?

    Reply

  1491. I think there is a problem with your recipe. On the one hand you say,
    "1 quart fresh strawberries - see exact measurement below"

    But then, below, you say,
    "Measure exactly 2 cups of prepared the fruit into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the 4 cups of sugar and stir well for 1 minute."

    1 quart is 4 cups, not two. I suspect you were trying to say to add 2 cups of fruit, then stir, heat, whatever, and then add 2 more. Otherwise, as it stands you would be using 4 cups of sugar for 2 cups of strawberries.

    Could you please clarify this? Thanks.

    1. Hi Marian, unfortunately, liquid and powdered pectin are not interchangeable. To ensure success, it would be better to follow a recipe that was created for powdered pectin.

  1517. I am new to your website and have just downloaded all four recipes for your easy biscuits. (I cannot wait to try them) I was also looking at your recipes for freezer jam. I have made many different canning jams but have never made freezer jam before. I am really interested in making your freezer jam recipes but am wondering if I can use frozen fruit instead of fresh as I have several large bags in my freezer ( strawberry, mixed berry and blackberry) I would also like to have some of your jam labels.
    I just love your website and can't wait to hear from you both.

  1521. I’m planning to make this recipe and I love the instructions to measure carefully. Do you have the berry measurement available by weight? I’m worried that measuring in a cup, and not being sure of the size of my berry pieces, could end up in failure for my first jam attempt.
    Also - can I use frozen berries?
    Thanks for your recipe 😃

    Reply

    1. Hi Asherdee, I don't have the berry measurement by weight. If you crush the berries and use a level cup to measure you will be fine. And yes, frozen berries will work great. Just let them thaw, then crush and measure.

I can’t tell you how many times I have made strawberry jam over the years and do it the same way every time on the same day and it never fails I have some patches that are grainy and I end up throwing them away or they’re runny.

    1. Hi Libby, Try to find Certo as this recipe was tested with Certo and you will be successful. Liquid and powdered pectin are not interchangeable so it would be best to use Certo for this recipe OR follow the directions on the SureJell box, using the microwave tips that I detail in the post.

    Reply

    1. Hi Kevin, this recipe is specifically for liquid pectin. Sadly the two are not interchangeable. That being said, there should be a recipe for strawberry jam on the pectin box. I would follow that recipe if you want to use up your powdered pectin.

    1. Hi Linda, I haven't found a solution for grainy jam. You could try turning it into a pot and boiling it to see if you could the sugar to dissolve although that might interfere with the set. If it does, you could always use it as an ice cream topping which is better than tossing it out.

      Regarding your question, blueberry jam would be a different proportion of sugar to fruit. I don't have a recipe for blueberry jam yet but if you wanted to make it, I would suggest using the recipe on the pectin box.

    I think I failed the no fail strawberry jam 😲
    I made your black pepper, balsamic strawberry jam and it was fine. I followed the instructions and didn't add more strawberries and didn't reduce the sugar I followed it. I left it for 2hour and stiring every 30 mins and then let it sit on the counter for the 24hr and it's like liquid in the jar, I think it's suppose to thinken right?
    Is there anyway I can salvage it? I would hate for it to go to waste. I guess I could just freeze it and then I have strawberry sause not jam.
    Anyways any though or suggestions?

I'm so glad I read a few comments before I started because I *almost* reduced the sugar because it seemed like so much.

    Reply

    1. Hi Connie, the two hours is to allow the sugar to fully dissolve. The 24 hours is recommended by the pectin company for a full set before refrigerating or freezing.
      If it's 100 degrees, I might let the jam sit for several hours and if the set seems okay, go ahead and refrigerate or freeze it.

  1592. The highlight of the summer was going north to see my in-laws. Bonnie was THE BEST cook and she always took the freshest fruits in the area to make freezer jam. We all looked forward to the first morning up there, smelling the coffee brewing, and bread toasting and just knowing that freezer jam would be sitting on the breakfast table waiting for us! She would give us a container to take back home with us and we would be as stingy as we could with it to make it last for months until we could get back up there! Bonnie is gone now, but I am going to try my hand at making your recipe in her honor. May I please have your label PDF to make it just that much nicer for the family.

  1610. Fresh picked strawberries from the field yesterday. Can’t wait to make this! Would love your cute labels!

  1611. Trying this recipe tomorrow! Picked the berries yesterday and they ripened so fast! Is it possible to crush the strawberries and refrigerate them until tomorrow? Thanks so very much and would appreciate it if you would please send the labels.

    1. Yes, you could crush the berries and refrigerate them until tomorrow! We'll get the labels to you, Donna!

    2. Can I double the recipe without adjusting the measurements? The strawberries are super sweet. Can I cut back on the sugar? I’d love some labels too. So glad I found you.

      Reply

      1. Hi Mary, it’s best to just use two bowls if you want to double the recipe. If you want the jam to set properly, don’t decrease the sugar. You could add an extra squeeze of lemon juice but decreasing the sugar can cause the final result to be a sauce rather than a jam.

      2. Chris,
        The jam came out perfect and we couldn’t wait to have some. I have so many strawberries to preserve. Do you have a water bath recipe for a large batch of berries? I have one my son and I use, but am always looking for a new one to try. I live on a small city lot but it is an active tiny urban farmstead. Blueberries and blackberries will be bursting out soon if they survive the heat wave.
        Thanks,
        Mary

    1. Hi Cheryl, You can definitely make a lower sugar jam but not with this recipe. If you want to adjust the amount of sugar, you'll need to use low-pectin or no-pectin and follow the directions on that package. This recipe will not set properly if you change the sugar.

    Reply

    1. Hi Linda, when you crush a quart of berries, you'll end up with right around 2 cups of crushed berries. You want exactly two cups though. If there's extra use it on your yogurt or on ice cream. If you're not exact with the measurements it can mess up the setting of the jam.

  1699. Chris, I made this recipe this morning and I was happy to see I could stir the jam after it was in jar. I did this after 6 hours and it mixed the berries very well. Can you let this jam set for longer than 24 hours and if so, what is the maximum time I can let it set on the counter without putting it in the freezer in refrigerator. Also, will you please sent me the labes? Thank you for all your tips. They really helped.

  1700. Help please......I made this and the jam did not set. I probably didn't do the exact measurements! Do I have to discard it all? I made 2 batches. What can I do?

    Reply

    1. I'm sorry this didn't set for you. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the post, making freezer jam is easy but it's an exact science and you need to be very precise in your measurements. Probably at this point, the best thing you could do is to use it as a delicious ice cream sauce or pancake syrup.

      Reply

  1704. So the recipe says fruit may float to the top so to give it a stir and fruit will stay suspended...it also says to put lids on after transferring to jar...so it’s okay to uncap while setting to stir and then recap? Also will recipe still work if you double triple or quadruple the recipe or should I do several single batches?

    Reply

    1. Hi Lisa, this is freezer jam so there's no problem with uncapping and recapping as there is with jams that are canned with a hot water bath.
      Don't try to double or triple the recipe. It's best to make it in single batches, just make three or four separate bowls at a time.

I have such fond memories of enjoying my grandma's strawberry freezer jam. I regret never taking the time to learn how to make it with her while she was still with us! This sure looks like hers and I am so excited to try it. Your easy biscuits are next. I made it last night and as you said would happen, my fruit has risen to the top. When exactly should I give it a stir? At the end of the 24hrs, right before I put in the freezer or fridge? Or is there a good time before it completely sets?{assuming mine will set at the 24hr} I'm about 14hrs in now. I would love some labels also.

  1715. I found this recipe to be a little confusing. First, it says to use a quart (4 cups) of strawberries but then down below says 2 cups of strawberries with 4 cups of sugar. Second, it says it only takes 28 minutes total but then the recipe says to let it devolve for 2 hours before adding the Pectin. We starter this after we got our kids in bed because we had a bunch of strawberries we picked a few days prior that we needed to do something with (first time growing them) and didn't expect to be stay up past midnight doing this. We already started though so we kinda have to finish. We had 4 cups of smashed strawberries so that's what we decided to go with instead of the 2 cups. Hoping it all works out. If not, it might make a great syrup lol
    A few questions for future reference:
    When you say "not cloudy anymore" are you talking about a froth on the top of the sugar/strawberry mixture? Ours has a bit of froth on top and I wasn't sure if that was normal.
    Have you ever added cinnamon to any of your strawberry jams? We usually put cinnamon on our fresh strawberries but I wasn't sure if it would affect the jam or not.

    Thanks so much

    Reply

    1. Hi Krys, sorry you found this confusing.

      First of all, regarding the strawberries, you need to purchase a quart of strawberries in order to make 2 cups of crushed berries. That's why it says under INGREDIENTS, 1 quart of strawberries - but see exact measurement below.
      And then in the DIRECTIONS, it says "Measure exactly 2 cups of prepared the fruit into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the 4 cups of sugar and stir well for 1 minute."

      Secondly, regarding the time, that's how much hands-on time this recipe takes.

      And lastly, when I say "not cloudy", I'm talking about the jam itself. If it's cloudy, it means that the sugar is not dissolved. There may be a little foam on the top from the stirring but the jam itself should be a nice clear red. You can also use the taste test (as mentioned in the recipe) to make sure the sugar is dissolved.
      Hope that helps.

Especially with the microwave trick, it would soften the little pieces of rhubarb? Anyways. Can you also send me the pdf. Thank you.

    Reply

    1. Hi Laurena, we haven’t tested this jam with rhubarb so we can’t guarantee success but, because the pectin levels are similar, it should work. If you wanted to do all rhubarb, I wouldn’t advise it, but half strawberries and half rhubarb should work. We will send the labels!

    1. Sorry you had trouble with this jam. It’s hard to say what went wrong without having been right there in the kitchen with you.
      You could try microwaving it again and stirring really well. I can’t promise this will work as often, once you add the pectin, it’s difficult to get rid of the graininess.

    1. Hi Kimberly, it’s easier for us to keep things straight if you request the labels that you would like on the individual posts, as we have a lot of labels.
      Regarding your question, SureJell and Certo are not interchangeable. If you prefer to use SureJell, it would be better for you to use the directions and proportions on the SureJell box instructions.

  1754. I've made this quite a few times but I've forgotten how many 8 oz jars this recipe fills. It says it makes 5 cups of jam but how much goes into an 8 oz jar. I know a cup is 8 oz but I think that's liquid measurement? Does this recipe make 5 jars of jam (assuming they're 8 oz glass jars)? Thanks again. If anyone here hasn't made this, don't hesitate-it's fabulous!

    Reply

    1. Hi April, so happy you are enjoying the jam!
      Regarding your question, this is strictly a freezer jam recipe and not safe for canning. You would have to go with a regular jam recipe if you want to use a hot water bath. You will find regular jam recipes on any box of pectin.

  1798. I have never made Freezer Jam before. Having my family home for a few days, I tried it, carefully following the instructions. So far, it has not set properly. I finally put the finished jars into the frig for a few days before I freeze them all. I though maybe it was the moisture in the air so I turned on a room dehumidifier to lower the humidity to around 31%.

    Any thoughts or ideas?

I just now shook all the jars and turned them upside down for these last two hours before I freeze them. I tasted a sample of one jar on a slice of toast and the flavour and consistency were perfect in my opinion. I would really appreciate the pdf. of labels. Thank you for making available.

    Reply

      1. Hi Denise, You can definitely make a lower sugar jam but not with this recipe. If you want to adjust the amount of sugar, you'll need to use low-pectin or no-pectin and follow the directions on that package. This recipe will not set properly if you change the sugar.

    1. Hi Judy, this is pretty traditional jam which is sweet. There’s not a way to alter this recipe without compromising the setting results.
      That being said, there are low-sugar and no-sugar pectins you could try. You would need to follow the directions on the packages of the particular pectin you use.

    2. Hello, and thank you for all the great tips! I was a bit ambitious and bought 2 flats of strawberries! I used the powdered pectin, and all the jars are in the resting phase right now.

I am grateful to know the microwave tip. I would very much like to receive the labels because I have a lot to gift!

    Reply

  1835. I have a question about what you use to measure your strawberries. Do you use a liquid or a dry measuring cup? Do you find that the liquid pectin works better than the powdered? I have always used the powered pectin and my jam tends to separate in the jars the top thee fourths sets up, but the bottom fourth tends to be runny (makes for great ice cream topping though) I am really careful on my measuring and making sure my sugar is dissolved, So, it make me wonder if I should use the liquid instead?? And I too would love your cute labels.
    Thank you
    Patti

    Reply

    1. Hi Patti, I use a dry measuring cup to measure my crushed strawberries.
      Regarding your question about pectin, I use both dry and liquid (for different recipes) and I think they're both great. But they're not interchangeable. If a recipe calls for liquid pectin, it's important to use liquid and vice versa. The two different pectins will generally call for different proportions of sugar and fruit.
      I have found that the tips that I mention in the post, help prevent problems with setting.

    1. Hi Melodie, did you use local, in-season berries? Or grocery store berries? If your berries are not red all the way through, your jam may end up a little pinker than red. The best berries to use for pretty red jam are in season, nicely ripe berries.

      Both of the jars are Weck jars. I try to link to Amazon as I know people can easily find and order from there. Amazon does not carry the round shape jars. Here is a link for them: https://weckjars.com/product/902-deco-jar/

  1894. Thanks for such a splendid-sounding recipe. I do have a question...can we assume the quart of strawberries is whole strawberries, not cut up? I’m anxious to try this!

    1. Hi Paulette, you will need right around a quart of fresh strawberries (whole) to make 2 cups of the crushed berries. Enjoy!

  1910. I made freezer jam back in the 80's when my kids were young and gave it up for many years (working outside the home). So when I decided to try this year i was disappointed to find my jam was grainy. Your recipe solved that! I have made 4 batches this week and every one is perfect. I follow directions exactly and I appreciate this wonderful recipe, as will my family, friends and neighbors!

    Reply

  1942. I'm very naive regarding freezer jam. Does the jam freeze solid? Can you use dried fruit, like blueberries, strawberries, or apricots since they would need to be rehydrated with water which could alter the freeze process? Here in the Philippines there is little to no access to fresh or frozen berries (except strawberries) or pitted fruit. These can be ordered dried, however.

    Reply

      1. Thanks Chris. Regarding pitted fruit I forgot about mango which is everywhere here. Unfortunately, I hate mango so there goes that jam. But I saw you have some pineapple jams which I would love (wish we could get habanero, or any decent hot pepper, here). There are few cooler areas to grow strawberries which make them very expensive fresh. I've seen whole (I won't say fresh though) cherries here and they're even more expensive. I really need to open my US tunnel-visioned eyes and look to readily available alternatives: papaya, guave, mangosteen, dalandan, Dragon fruit, etc.

        Reply

        1. I bet those jams would be amazing! Regarding the pineapple jam, you could use a chile garlic sauce or a Sriracha in lieu of the peppers.

  1959. Made this recipe along with the buttermilk biscuits. Very tasty, thank you very much! My jam set up perfectly. I did use fresh Squeezed lemon juice as instructed.

    I know subbing fresh squeezed for jarred lemon juice in a receipe or vice versa, can cause jams and jellies not to set correctly. Maybe this is the problem some people are experiencing when they say this didn’t set for them?

    I would love to get your copy of labels. Thank you very much.

  1982. I' used to make freezer jam when my family was still at home. It's been a few years since I've made it but yesterday I bought, what was supposed to be "fresh Nova Scotia strawberries". The berries were so cold, I figured they must have been in cold storage for a while. Nevertheless, I prepared two recipes; but I noticed there was so much liquid when I mashed the berries, that I suspect they had been previously frozen. Well, I followed the recipe to a "T" and after 24 hrs at room temperature, the jam hadn't set up. My question is, will this jam be edible or should I dump all of it? Thanks

          1. Hi Carol, you're right, most recipes don't call for a two hour resting time. I've found that unless the sugar is FULLY dissolved, the jam won't set. The two hours (with a few good stirs) helps the sugar to be fully incorporated.

  2001. I've made this jam, twice, and both times the berries set to the top with clear jelly at the lower third of the jars. I timed every step to a tee and there was no sugar grain. I don't usually use pectin and I remember my grandmother telling me that you shouldn't use pectin on a cloudy or humid day as jam won't set correctly. Have you ever heard this? The jam is delicious, a bit over set, but still worth the effort. When you get a moment, I would love the PDF for the labels. Thank you.

    Reply

    1. Hi Karen, sometimes the fruit will rise to the top. If you just give it a good stir once it starts to thicken the strawberries will stay nicely suspended in the jam.
      Regarding the pectin, I've never had a problem with it in reference to the weather. I know that is an issue with some types of candy and meringues but I make jam in all types of weather without any issues.

  2008. Hello. Found your blog while looking for a fix for my separated jam. I'm ready to start another batch, but I could only find Sure Jell, so do you know how I would adjust for that? It is the packet combined with 3/4 cup of water, which is much more than the three ounce packet of Certo. Should I prepare as the package directs, and can I still add the lemon juice? Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Hi Terri, I would follow the directions and proportions on the SureJell packet but use my tips for the microwave and stirring. And if it doesn't call for lemon juice, you could definitely still add 2 tablespoons as lemon has a lot of pectin and will help it to set.

  2013. Hello, I made this jam and it was so easy. It did set up! BUT. I stirred and stirred and the sugar never quite
    dissolved. I found your recipe/article Afterwards. Is there any chance it will dissolve further now that it is made??
    Could it be microwaved once out of the freezer, before using? Thanks so much.

    1. Hi Alice, it may dissolve a little more in the jars. And microwaving it (and then allowing it to cool) before using should help too!

  2014. Hi Chris -

    I just made freezer jam last night with a different recipe and i think it needed more liquid pectin than I used. it is very runny on the bottom half of the jar and the berries are sitting at the top half looking more congealed. Do you think I can empty the jars in a bowl and stir in another pouch of pectin to save this batch? Has anyone every tried this?

    Reply

    1. Hi Jennifer, this can be a problem with freezer jam which is why I wrote this post. I had such inconsistent results for years until I discovered the secret of making sure the sugar was completely dissolved. That just doesn't happen consistently if you follow the directions in the pectin box. You may have success one time and then runny jam the next. Since I've been using the microwave trick and allow the mixture to sit longer I've had consistently good results. From my experience, sometimes it works to add more pectin and sometimes it just doesn't. You could try it - if it doesn't work it will make really good strawberry syrup for ice cream, etc. Another option would be to cook the jam down to make it thicker but you will lose that fresh strawberry taste. It will still be good, more like traditional jam.

      1. I’m making this recipe right now. Used 2 cups of strawberries added the sugar and microwaved. After an hour of letting it rest it’s still grainy. Any ideas? I also read in one of the comments it should be 2 cups crushed Strawberries I don’t think 2 cups of strawberries equaled 2 cups crushed. Could that be why it’s so grainy? Thanks. I’m excited for this recipe. My first time making it. Hopefully I didn’t screw it up.

        Reply

        1. Hi Julie, if you look at the ingredients, you need about a quart of strawberries (which is 4 cups) for this recipe because you need exactly 2 cups of crushed berries to combine with the 4 cups of sugar. In the instructions in steps 2 and 3 it says to crush the berries and then measure 2 cups of crushed berries. I think you might have misread the recipe.

          Reply

          1. Hi Chris. I did misread the recipe. Thankfully I had enough berries and remade it the next day. It worked out perfectly not grainy at all and it was delicious!! I’m gonna try cherry freezer jam next!

    1. Hi Jane, I prefer to make a double batch of jam in two separate bowls. I don't think you save any time doubling the recipe because it takes a lot of time to dissolve that much sugar and fruit and it's so important with freezer jam that the sugar gets dissolved. Hope that helps!

    1. Hi Theresa, there isn't a conversion for liquid to dry pectin. You will need to use a recipe specific to dry pectin as the proportions are different. You could use my tips to ensure good results but use the recipe that comes with the pectin. I have never halved a jam recipe so I can't say for sure that it will work.

  2066. Well I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I now have 9 cute little mason jars of lemon tasting strawberry syrup !!! I followed your instructions exactly. Did not have any grainy problems, it was never cloudy nor did it get a brighter red color. Pulp rose to the top. And from shopping to finish it took 6 hrs. Never used Certo b4 and certainly not thrilled with it if that is the problem.

    Reply

    1. Hi Cheri, I'm sorry this didn't work for you. It's always sad to waste good ingredients.
      It's hard to say what went wrong without having been right there with you as you made the jam. I'm wondering if you used the right amount of sugar and berries. If you combine 2 cups of berries with 4 cups of sugar it is definitely going to be cloudy until the sugar gets dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved you will see the color get clearer and brighter red.
      I haven't had anyone else report this type of problem. Again, I'm sorry this didn't work out for you.

      Reply

  2067. Just made 2 batches, HOLY COWABUNGA!
    Very tasty, and very very pretty!
    I struggled with the sugar, it was still crusty at the end of 2 hours, so on the next batch instead of just stirring every 30 minutes (for 3 full minutes) I put the bowl in the microwave forv1 minute and stirred for 3 every half hour. It worked beautifully.
    Also, I was VERY afraid when you said make sure i get out ALL the pectin, so when I mixed the pectin I added exactly 1 teaspoon more to my mixture. They came out PERFECT.
    THANK YOU!!!

  2068. So if you don't follow the directions on the pectin, how do you know how long to do everything for? My strawberry freezer jam has never set but I've always followed the directions. My pectin that I use (Ball brand) doesn't call for mixing the fruit and sugar first and then adding pectin. It has me mixing the pectin and sugar first, then adding the fruit to it and then stirring it all for 3 minutes and then letting it set for 30 minutes. So how would I do this with this type of pectin (not liquid)? Should I mix the berries with the sugar first and let it sit like your recipe? (It also doesn't call for lemon juice for the strawberry jam, only for some of the other jams). I've used another type of pectin but the sugar never dissolved, no matter how long I let it set and stirred it, so the jam was grainy, although it set. I guess I should try a different type of pectin?

    Reply

    1. Hi Jenna, I don't recommend following the directions on the pectin because it tends to be grainy and there can be a problem with it setting. That's why I recommend the microwave step and the stirring steps.
      I haven't used Ball pectin so I don't want to advise on this since the technique is different.
      I do think the lemon juice helps the jam to set as lemon has a lot of natural pectin.

  2078. Hi, there, Chris! I used -- and loved -- this jam recipe last summer, but need to improvise a way to store it in bulk in my overly packed, tiny freezer. Can I store it in freezer Ziplock bags (flattened), then thaw and pour into jars for later? I just don't have the storage capacity for the jars this year and have buckets of berries that are waiting to become jam! Thanks for any insights, as I know this changes your recipe a bit.

I had an old recipe and I applied it to yours. It's strawberry pineapple jam (extremely good). Use 1 3/4 cups crushed strawberries, 1/2 cup crushed drained pineapple (canned), 4 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice and the pouch of Certo liquid pectin. If you haven't tried it yet Chris, you should, it's really good.

      Welcome to The Café! I hope you enjoy the freezer jam.
      Regarding the multi-fruit jam, I don't have a recipe for freezer jam including those fruits. I would probably go with an old fashioned jam recipe that doesn't require pectin. Just sugar and fruit and simmering it to the thickness that you desire.

    Thank you for your guidance -and amazing recipes!

  2102. It is strawberry season in NC. I'm a fan of liquid fruit pectin for strawberry jam. I like the idea of microwaving just to dissolve all the crystals. I'd love to have your labels to attach to the strawberry jam I'm making now for Christmas presents. Thanks for offering them.

  2120. Hi Chris,
    Just wanted to tell you that I had never tried making freezer jam until last year. I had always made traditional jam but then at one point I stopped making jam because of all the work that was involved until last year when I saw your post on the strawberry freezer jam I just had to try it. I am telling you it was delish and it practly flew out of my freezer, my kids and grandchildren loved it. I had to control myself from eating a whole jar while it was sitting on the counter to see if it was ready or not. From that point I have made pretty much all of the jam and jelly recipes that you have posted and they have all turned out great. I love that you are creating labels for these beautiful little jewels because it is hard to tell sometimes when they are all stacked in the freezer what they are.
    Can you please send me the PDF label for the strawberry jam, thank you and may God bless you and your family

Managed to find strawberries but unusually tart and used jam granulated sugar, followed instructions to the letter and no graininess so far perfect, it didn’t have a great set and hasn’t frozen in the freezer although reading up seems the combination of ingredients won’t freeze solid. All said beautiful color and great taste, and perfect with buttermilk biscuits I made three batches!! I’m hooked! Next one pineapple and sriracha. Stay safe. Lynda

    Would you send instructions as to how to adapt them to this recipe? thank you

    Reply

    1. Hi Connie, just thaw your berries, then smash them with a potato masher or a fork. Then measure the same amount as in the recipe. Just don't use frozen strawberries that already have sugar because the proportions will be off and there's no way to know how much sugar is in a given amount of strawberries.

      Reply

  2142. Thank you for helping me resolve the problem of sugar that wouldn't dissolve when making strawberry freezer jam. Your microwave trick worked perfectly! Really appreciate it.

  2143. Hi again, I made your strawberry freezer jam and it is fabulous, I followed the directions exactly and put the jars in the freezer after 24 hours, I went to get a jar out and the jam turned a very pale pink colour--is that normal?? I put it in the fridge and it turned back to the red colour. Have you ever had this happen?? Can I put this jam back in the fridge freezer once it is thawed??

    Reply

    1. Hi Jill, So happy you enjoyed the jam! It's just the frostiness that makes it look pink. Yes, you could definitely refreeze it if needed. It will be fine for a few weeks in the refrigerator though.

      Reply

  2144. I made this jam and it is fabulous. I was just wondering if you have ever made it with raspberries? My family loves raspberry jam so I am hoping you have made it with raspberries.

    Reply

  2145. I tried this jam today. It was very good. Had a good flavor. I also, tried the low sugar Surejel pectin and recipe.
    As far as flavor, they both seemed to be about the same. But, I’ve decided that I like the surejel better. It wasn’t as sweet. The Certo jam was a lot sweeter. My other half liked it better also. How do I make your recipe less sweet?
    I’d like to make yours again, if I can make it with low sugar. I also, love the jars. Thanks, Liz

    Reply

    1. Hi Liz, you can't really change a jam recipe. If you prefer jam that is not as sweet, I would use the recipe with the low sugar pectin.

  2146. Hi Brenda, that makes me happy that you've already made this jam and are enjoying it. Wait till you pull it out on a chilly winter morning and take a taste of summer!
    Regarding your question, it can definitely go back in the freezer but it does last quite a while in the refrigerator. I've stored it in the fridge for a month or more with good results.

    Reply

  2147. I just made this yesterday and it is wonderful! Hubby loved it too. I'm going to make the sweet cherry tomorrow, when I get my cherry pitter from Amazon. I do have a question though, can the jar be refrozen? For instance, if I thawed it but kept it in refrigerator and decided I didn't want to use it, could I refreeze it? Thanks for the wonderful recipes and for your help

    Reply

  2148. You are so darn smart!! I made one batch of this jam that did NOT gel. I even did a "do-over" as mentioned. Still no good. So I READ your tips over AGAIN and saw the information about stale dated pectin and, yep, you guessed it. Mine was WAY past it's best before date. So onto batch #2, exact same instructions and it was PERFECT. I have spoken with others who (like me) thought that pectin was good for a very long time. One is never too old to learn new things and this has saved me from making the same mistake again and never knowing where I went wrong. BUT I must say that the strawberry 'topping' has not gone to waste and everybody, including me, love it. I so appreciate the time and effort you put into all of your creations and I will be making more freezer jams and jellies using your TRUSTED instructions. Thanks again! Always love seeing your notes in my in-basket.

    1. Haha! Thank you for your very kind words, Judy, although I'm pretty certain it's not that I am so smart but rather that I am so darn curious!

I always love learning new things in the culinary world. Whatever it is, I'm so happy that you had success! That's my job! And thanks so much for taking the time to share your results!

  2149. Haven’t tried making this yet! It looks delicious. I am wondering since I do see allot of comments on graininess, can you use like liquid Agave’, in place of sugar? And if so what the ration would be?

    Reply

    1. Hi Tina, if you follow these instructions, you won't get any graininess. If you wanted to use Agave, you'd have to follow a different recipe, designed just for that. Jam and jelly making is very precise and I couldn't guarantee success without doing a lot of testing and tweaking.

      Reply

  2150. Love all your recipes. Can this overnight jam method be adapted to any varieties? If not I will use the microwave tip you suggest. Either way, getting rid of the annoying graniness will be a huge coup. Thanks for working out all the problems so I don't have to!

    Reply

    1. Hi Judy, thanks so much!
      Yes, this overnight technique can be used for any freezer jam recipe. I alternate between this and the microwave trick. They both work well. Just follow the directions on the box regarding amounts of fruit, sugar, etc. though.

  2165. I may have solved the issue of sugar grains in the jam. The last 2 batches I put in the freezer without letting them sit for overnight. The jars maybe sat for 6 hrs max. because the jam was well set. The recipe says 24 hrs. or until set. Yesterday's batch sat overnight for approx. 17 hrs. There was no grainy texture this morning.

  2191. Debra, yes it is white sugar. For this recipe I wouldn't try using another sugar or decreasing the amount - it is a very exact recipe and I've tried using less - it doesn't work. There are recipes out there however, that use less sugar and I've seen some recipes with honey. You could google this and probably find what you're looking for. We don't eat a ton of this jam but a little every now and then is a very special treat so I don't worry about the refined sugar.I also love to use it for special desserts and even savory dishes which I will be sharing some of coming up. Thanks for your great questions! Chris
