Ingredients
10cupsstrawberrieswashed and crushed
2cupssugar
26 oz. boxesstrawberry gelatinor 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!
