Print Recipe

A simple and quick freezer jam recipe using fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice without any added pectin. Perfect for capturing the fresh essence of summer berries with minimal fuss and no boiling or canning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed (about 600g)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar (600g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (60ml)
  • 1/2 cup water (120ml)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 4 cups (600g) of fresh strawberries. Pat dry. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them to your preferred texture.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 3 cups (600g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (120ml) water. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
  3. Stir 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice into the sugar syrup.
  4. Pour the warm sugar-lemon mixture over the mashed strawberries. Stir gently but thoroughly until evenly combined.
  5. Spoon the jam into clean, freezer-safe jars or containers, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) space at the top for expansion.
  6. Let the jam cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), then seal containers tightly and freeze. Jam will set fully within 24 hours.
  7. To serve, thaw jam in the refrigerator overnight. Stir gently if too runny and consume within 3 weeks.

Notes

Freeze jars before filling to help jam set faster. Use fresh lemon juice for best gel and brightness. If jam is too runny after thawing, stir and let it sit longer in the fridge to thicken. Sterilize jars to prevent spoilage even though jam is frozen. Avoid refreezing thawed jam.
