• 1.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 pounds fresh strawberries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Tighten lids. Store in freezer up to 1 year or in fridge up to 1 month.

Step 2

Wash, hull, and coarsely chop strawberries. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste. Stir well; let stand until berries release some of their juice, about 30 minutes. Add pectin, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until well combined. Let stand 5 minutes to activate pectin.

Step 4

Spoon jam into clean, wide-mouth, half-pint jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel. Loosely apply clean lids and transfer to freezer. Freeze completely, about 5 hours.
