Love making this in batches and handing them out as gifts!

Strawberry freezer jam is a delightful and easy way to preserve the fresh, bright flavor of summer strawberries all year round. Originating from the need to harness seasonal produce without the need for extensive canning equipment, this jam is perfect for urban dwellers with limited space and time. Making your own freezer jam allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring a higher quality and more flavorful spread compared to store-bought options. It's a great project for anyone looking to dip their toes into the world of preserves.
Strawberry freezer jam is incredibly versatile. Spread it on morning toast or English muffins for a sweet start to your day. It also pairs wonderfully with scones or biscuits for afternoon tea. For a savory twist, use it as a glaze for grilled chicken or pork. Additionally, consider swirling it into yogurt or oatmeal for a fruity burst of flavor, or as a topping for ice cream and pancakes.
