I grew up on this stuff, and can't possibly switch to store bought. Sorry, it is just not the same. This is goodness in a jar. I am almost out of the 3 or 4 batches that I made last summer, so I made 2 batches this afternoon to restock my freezer. Each batch makes 3 of these 2 cup ball plastic jars.
Strawberry Freezer Jelly
2 cups liquid strawberries (from a little more than 1 qt berries)
4 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1 envelope fruit pectin (Ball or Sure-Gel, not low sugar)
Clean strawberries and place in a food processor or blender and process until mostly liquid. In a large bowl, measure 4 cups of sugar, then add the strawberry liquid (make sure to measure it or it will not set!) and stir well. Let sit for 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, mix together water and fruit pectin. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir pectin mixture into strawberries and mix for 3 minutes. Pour into prepared jars and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. Then place in freezer and take them out as you need them.
