I made this a few days ago.  Enough to fill up a couple of jars and a tiny bit extra.  I let my daughter try the tiny bit extra… she was DYING to get into this jam.  Here’s the problem.  I made it because I wanted to get to the case of strawberries while they were still fresh (more recipes coming!) however, I didn’t have a chance to do my photos.  So my daughter had to wait before she could eat it!

Finally today, I did my photos… and as soon as I was done, I gave her the green light.  She ate 5, yes FIVE, slices of bread piled high with jam.  It’s that good!  It would make an amazing ice cream topper too!

If you’ve never made freezer jam, it’s incredibly easy!  Mash fruit, add sugar & pectin, stir.  That’s it!

There are a few changes in this recipe from the back of the packet of pectin in order to avoid it being runny with the citrus juices being added.  The packet I had asked for 4 cups of fruit but I used only 3!!

This will take you about 10 minutes to put together.  It does have to sit a bit… but wow is it ever worth it!

• ▢ 3 1/4 cups mashed strawberries
• ▢ 1 orange

• Zest the skin of 1 orange and 1/2 lemon being careful to only get the colored part of the skin and to avoid the white. Add to the strawberries.
• Juice 1 orange and 1/2 of the lemon and add to the strawberries.

• Pour into freezer jam jars or glass jars.
