Strawberry Freezer Jam

• 1 quart (4 cups) fresh strawberries, cut in half
• 4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 pkg. (1 3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin

1. Using a potato masher, mash the strawberries until they are slightly chunky. Don't puree! You're looking for 2 cups of crushed strawberries.
2. Mix the strawberries and sugar together in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't skimp on this process. The sugar needs the full 10 minutes to work on the berries.
3. Mix the water and the pectin together in a saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is boiling, let it continue to boil for 1 minute.
4. Pour the hot pectin mixture over the strawberries and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
5. Immediately spoon the mixture into prepared freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the containers and seal. Let stand at room temperature for about 24 hours, or until set.
6. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Thaw frozen jam and stir before serving.
