| ~Local Strawberries~ Some for freezing, some for snacking on and some for freezer jam |
The local strawberries are available here in Western MA! At a roadside stand it is easy to purchase a quart or two to enjoy. They are delicious! We purchased a few quarts. Some to prep for our freezer, some to snack on and 3 quarts to make 3 batches of Strawberry Freezer Jam. Preparing jam has been a tradition for me for so many years. For me the commercial jams do not compare in taste to the jams I prepare and my family and I enjoy.
These past two days my kitchen has been hopping! After purchasing the red juicy strawberries it was time to prep some to place in our freezer to enjoy throughout the year. On the second day the Strawberry Freezer Jam was prepared. After placing the strawberry jam mixture into clean containers and snapping on the lids, the containers sat undisturbed for 24 hours. My dining room table came in very handy! After 24 hours passed the containers were placed in the freezer. About a month ago I had already purchased the needed Certo (liquid fruit pectin), granulated sugar and lemon juice. My containers for jam have been used for quite a few years.

Now that our supply of the fresh buy local strawberries and the strawberry freezer jams have found their spots in our freezer it's time to enjoy a strawberry sundae for dessert tonight.
Enjoy!
Yummy!
