Ingredients

  • 10 cups strawberries washed and crushed
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 6 oz. boxes strawberry gelatin or 4 3oz. boxes

Instructions

  • Wash strawberries, remove green leaves and crush.
  • In your largest pot, combine strawberries and sugar. Let stand for 1 hour. Heat to boiling, then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries.
  • Wipe down the sides of the pan so no sugar granules remain or the jam will have a grainy texture later.
  • Stir in the Jell-O. Fill clean containers with jam. I didn't have a canning jar filler, so I used a big plastic cup with a hole in the bottom. I put my jam in mason jars even though I didn't actually can the jam. You can also store the jam in plastic tupperware containers or even plastic freezer bags.
  • Freeze the jam. Thaw in fridge before serving on toast, waffles, sandwiches or even ice cream.

Notes

This jam is good in the freezer for 3-6 months, but you'll be lucky if it lasts that long. Our family devoured it!
