Strawberry Jam


4 cups strawberries, crushed
3 cups sugar
1 package pectin
1 cup water

1. In saucepan, combine sugar, pectin, and water. Cook until sugar is dissolved. 
2. Add to crushed strawberries in large bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Pour jam into clean glass jars leaving 1/2 space from top for expansion. 
4. Let sit 24 hours at room temperature then freeze up to one year.

Making homemade freezer jam is like visiting Mayberry! I love looking at the ruby red strawberry jam in clean glass, contemporary jars. It just makes my heart skip a beat!
