LOVE the chicken in the background of that pic...

My mom makes the freezer jam from fresh strawberries every year. It is SOOOOO good on hot, homemade biscuits!

She's the only BR I have and she's staying for a while.

Yes, you have to freeze it. It has such a fresh strawberry taste compared to jam that you have to process.

The recipe says that it should sit at room temp for 24 hours, then refrigerated for up to 3 weeks. After then, it needs to be frozen. There's another recipe that can be used if you want it to store for later, but it takes longer and you have to put the jars in a water bath. Not too many extra steps, but more time consuming and it's not as fresh tasting.

You can store it in the fridge for 3 weeks, but if you aren't going to use it you need to freeze it after the 24 hours.....at least that's how the directions in my boxes always read.

Wow, why didn't I stumble on this a few days ago when I had all those strawberries go bad! I am going to buy some Sure Jell. Just to have it on hand.

Thanks all!
