Strawberry Freezer Jam |
This gorgeous ruby red jam is definitely a favorite family recipe!
Although I personally didn't come up with the recipe, I've been lovin' and making this recipe for over 3 decades now!
What's great about this SOFT-SERVE JAM; it DOES NOT set up firm like the
"run of the mill" pectin jams do.
So, besides any obvious uses...
i.e.: toast, pancakes - waffles - muffins.
- It's a wonderful TOPPING for ice cream recipes.
- It's also great over cake, and delicious as a FILLING between cake layers too.
- It makes an amazing base fresh strawberry PIE!
- It's a fabulous base for strawberry BEVERAGES.
Tutorial:
1. Rinse, trim and hull centers of 2 lbs of lovely berries!
3. Squeeze in 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice. Add corn syrup, if using Instant ClearJel and freezing in freezer bags.
4. First... ALWAYS mix sugar with clearjel completely, before adding to the strawberries (or any wet) ingredients.
Doing so eliminates any clumps, dispersing the thickener evenly!
Taste, to adjust for sweetness!
Serve fresh or freeze for long term freshness.
