Strawberry Freezer Jam


(yes I know the picture is terrible. It still tasted great.)

2 quarts fresh strawberries
5 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup water
1 package (1 3/4 oz) powdered fruit pectin

Wash and mash the berries, measuring out enough mashed berries to make 4 cups; place in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar, corn syrup and lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes.

In a small saucepan, bring water and pectin to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 1 minutes. Add to fruit mixture; stir for 3 minutes.

Pour into jars or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks ro freeze for up to 1 year. Yield: 4 1/2 pints.
