The Best Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam EVER.
Jam is the jelled puree which is made with the flesh and juice of fruits. Along with sugar and water, it is heated which helps to activate pectin which you add. According to the Food Network's blog, Healthy Eats, store-bought jams and jellies contain more sugar than fruit. Why would you want to put all that sugar into your body when you can make your own?
Making freezer jam from scratch can be time-consuming and complicated at first, but the end result is something amazing. Not only are you saving money because you won't have to buy jam for months on end now because of the supply you can keep in the freezer, it's healthier for you, and now you always have the perfect gift to give to your friends.
For as long as I can remember I have been making homemade freezer jam with my mom and my great aunt. It is something very special to my heart and I hope it becomes close to your heart as well.
