Ingredients
- 2 quarts of fresh strawberries, stems removed, washed and drained in colander
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 box of MCP pectin
- 4 ½ cups sugar
Instructions
- Cut strawberries in half and place in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, crush berries until slightly chunky (NOT pureed). Measure exactly 3¼ cups of crushed strawberries into a large bowl and add the lemon juice, stir to combine.
- Gradually add pectin to the fruit. Mix thoroughly and let sit for 30 min, stirring every 5 min to dissolve pectin completely.
- Using a rubber spatula stir in sugar gradually until completely dissolved (roughly 5 minutes). Taste a little sample to see if sugar is dissolved. If not, continue stirring for 1-3 more minutes.
- Pour into prepared containers leaving 1/2” headspace for expansion during freezing. Wipe rims of containers; seal. Let stand at room temperature for about 24 hours or until set.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 months, or store in the freezer for 1 to 2 years.
