That’s My Jam!

Strawberries

June is prime strawberry time! Even after the season is over, you can enjoy the taste of fresh strawberries with freezer jam.

Freezer jam is delicious, easy, and quick to make. Jam is only as tasty as the fruit it is prepared with. So be sure to start with fresh, unblemished strawberries that have been washed.

Since it is not cooked, freezer jam tastes more like fresh strawberries. However, since it is not processed in a hot water bath, it does require temperature control like freezing or refrigeration. Try this research-based recipe to ensure the safety of your freezer jam: Uncooked Berry Jam, go.iastate.edu/92RCMB.
