My favorite Invention! Freezer Jam Pectin!

I think Freezer Jam is the best thing since sliced bread! Seriously it allows beginners like me to feel like they are "doing" something big and homesteady!

And makes me a hero to my kids for making the BEST jam!

I made it while the kids were outside playing yesterday. I was on the PORCH! I had my washed strawberries. I cut the greens off of them and then used my handy dandy tupperware chopper to chop up 4 cups of strawberries. Then in a different bowl I mixed 1 1/2 cup sugar with the magic freezer pectin pack and stirred them up. Poured the wonderful mix over my strawberries, stirred for 3 mins and BOOM! It was a miracle! Fill the jars, put them in the freezer and this morning we are enjoying the best breakfast ever! My kids LOVE it!

I was extra homemaker yesterday as I had to make potato salad for a birthday party today. I hate making that! lol But I tried to say "I will bring the chips and pop" and got turned down for potato salad! lol

I love strawberry freezer jam! It tastes so fresh. I also make cooked jams, but you just can't beat how easy and tasty freezer jam is. Sounds like you had a good day. :-)

I have made the regular jam, but never the freezer kind. Now I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
