Freezer Strawberry Jam Sugar Free Recipes

EASY STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Add the strawberries to a deep pot along with the sugar and lemon juice.
• Stir to combine and turn the heat to high, stirring every now and then until the mixture starts to bubble and become hot.
• Use a potato masher to mash the strawberries until they begin to fall apart. The more you mash, the smaller the strawberry pieces will be.
• When the mixture begins to boil, continue to stir every 30 seconds or so.
• Use an instant-read thermometer - here's a link to mine (affiliate link) - to measure the temperature of the jam as it boils. Be sure the thermometer is measuring at the middle of the jam and not touching the bottom of the pot.
• Continue boiling as the temperature climbs and don't let it stop boiling until it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (for low altitudes) or 218 degrees Fahrenheit (for high altitudes). This should take about 8 minutes or so.
• Once the correct temperature is reached, remove the pot from the heat and carefully spoon the jam into a standard mason jar. The jam might seem a little bit liquid at this stage - don't worry! It will thicken as it cools.
• Add the lids to the jars and allow to cool at room temperature until completely cool.
• Store in the fridge (or freezer for long term storage) and enjoy on toast, scones, or however you like!

SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• First: Add 4 cups of strawberries to a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice or citric acid, and 1/3 cup of erythritol, and Blend till you get it as smooth as you like.
• Second: Pour your mixture into a mixing bowl and add the Ultra Gel. Whisk together till well incorporated and there are no lumps. FOR EXTRA SMOOTH Strawberry freezer jam, blend Ultra Gel with puree in the blender.
• Third: Let your freezer jam rest at this point for 3-5 minutes to set up.
• Fourth: Now you can spoon your strawberry freezer jam into your freezer safe jelly jars or containers. Make sure to leave at least a 1/2 inch head space if using jars. Strawberry Freezer Jam will expand a bit when it freezes and your jar will break if you fill it all the way.
• Freeze for up to two years. (After two years it's still good to eat, but has a little discoloration and loses some nutrients.)
• Thaw and enjoy from the refrigerator for up to two weeks... It won't last that long!

SUGAR FREE STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• 1. Have at least 2 pints of fresh strawberries. Take them out of packaging and lay them flat. Pick out the bad strawberries and then let them breath till you are ready to use them.
• 2. Wash off strawberries in cool water and then place on a paper towel covered tray. Hull the strawberries and then slice them into a bowl. Now mash them with a potato masher for a few minutes until desired consistency. (I have read that some people choose to chop them in a food processor, but we like ours a little more chunky).
• 3. Add your pectin and sugar to a bowl and stir together.
• 4. Now, measure out your 4 cups of strawberries. I prefer to use a measuring cup that can measure 4 cups as to be more precise. Place them in into the bowl with the pectin and sugar. Stir for 3 minutes.
• 5. Ladle jam into clean freezer jars and let stand 30 minutes. (If any jam gets on the sides of the jars, clean them off before placing into the freezer.) Now, you can place them into freezer or enjoy a jar of strawberry freezer jam now. When filling jars, leave about 1/2 inch headspace to allow for food expansion during freezing.
• 6. -----Info from instant pectin bottle: Do not exceed 6 jars per batch - set may not occur in larger batch sizes.----- Here is your finished jam. Freeze up to a year or refrigerate now for up to 3 weeks.
• 7. Pic of the Instant Pectin. (Sure Jell has an Instant Pectin too)
