I had heard freezer jam was easy, but once my friend Melissa showed me how a few years ago, i have been hooked! We haven't bought jam since! I bought a ton of berries when they were only $1.50 per carton at Henry's and the pectin was roughly $3. So, for $4.50, i got a whole lotta super yummy jam. The boys LOVE helping! This is one of the stickiest mixtures ever, but when it is first made, it is sooo good! Drizzle it over your pancakes, waffles, etc. ((yummy))
First, putting the berries in the food processor.

Sneaking a sample :)
Watching them get chopped up (with no lumps for my kids... you can completely control texture)
Adding in a lot of sugar...
Mixing it all together.
Boiling the pectin and water.
Adding the pectin to the strawberry mixture.
Funneling into the freezer jars.
TaDa!! What we make with less than $5 and 30 minutes.
The best part always comes at the end!
