Make fresh-tasting strawberry jam quickly without boiling or canning. This simple recipe stores well in the freezer for up to one year.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and crushed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: If using fresh, crush them lightly in a bowl. If using frozen, thaw them slightly and crush them.
  2. Mix the crushed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice together in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar mostly dissolves.
  3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the sugar to draw out more juice.
  4. Spoon the jam mixture into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  5. Cover the containers tightly and place them in the freezer. The jam is ready to eat once frozen solid.

Notes

  • For a lower sugar jam, you can reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup, but the texture may be slightly softer.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, pulse the strawberries briefly in a food processor instead of crushing by hand.
  • This jam is best used within 10 to 12 months for optimal flavor.
