Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed strawberries
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 box Sure Jell fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions:
- Wash and rinse 5 half-pint freezer-safe containers with tight-fitting lids. Dry thoroughly.

- In a separate bowl, mix the Sure Jell fruit pectin and water. Stir vigorously for 1 minute, then let stand for 3 minutes.
- Add the pectin mixture to the strawberry mixture. Stir for 3 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Ladle the strawberry jam into the prepared containers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Cover with lids and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.

- Make sure to measure the strawberries and sugar carefully for the best results.
- Stir the jam constantly for the full 3 minutes after adding the pectin to ensure it sets correctly.
- If the jam doesn't set after 24 hours, you can try re-cooking it with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of Sure Jell pectin.
