Homemade Strawberry Jam

~First attempt at Homemade jam: Freezer & jar kinds

#1- Start out with about 3 qts of "Amish" strawberries(according to Kassandra they are the best)

 #2- Get all the ingredients together which is basically sugar & sure jell

#3 Crush berries ( I used a food processor and just lightly crushed)

 ~ You still want chunks of small fruit pieces

 #4 Add a ton of sugar (exact recipe is on the sure jell box) It was alot of sugar. There is also a reduced sugar recipe and a no sugar recipe.

 That was basically it for the freezer jam. I think it doesnt set up as thick as the jar jam but it does taste fresher and sweeter. Very good over pancakes or ice cream also!!

~ I then tried the jar kind...You have to cook this but it wasnt hard.

 I really like how this turned out...very good on toast but I didnt fill my jars full enough. oh well next time.

Ahhhhh.... the finished product.
