Instructions
Wash and dry jars.
Crush strawberries to equal 4 cups of crushed berries. You can use a blender and pulse them until they reach your desired consistency or use a potato masher. You can crush them as much as you'd like, leaving small or large bits of berry. Once mashed place them in a large bowl.
Pour sugar and pectin into a saucepan. Mix.
Stir in water, bring to a boil using medium-high heat, stirring continually.
When it reaches boiling temp, let boil for exactly 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Pour pectin mixture into the large bowl of strawberries. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Immediately fill jars with jam leaving 1/2 inch at the top.
Let the jars sit for 24 hours on the counter and then they are ready! Freeze for up to 1 year. Jam will stay fresh for 3 weeks in the fridge.
