STRAWBERRY FREEZER JAM

4 Cups strawberries (2 cups crushed) 

Remove and discard stems and crush the strawberries.

 

Mix 2 cups of strawberries with 4 cups of sugar (oh yeah) and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. 

​

Stir 1 package of "Sure-Jell" fruit pectin into 3/4 cup of water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute (stirring constantly) and remove from heat. 

Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours then refrigerate. They'll keep for up to three weeks in the fridge or up to a year in the freezer. The recipe makes 5 cups.

​

The jam is great on home made sour dough bread, toast or pound cake.

Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl combine butter, 3 tablespoons sugar and the pretzels and mix well. Firmly press the pretzel mixture into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish. Bake at 350 for ten minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in boiling water and add strawberries. Chill the mixture until it is partially set. In a separate mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping. 

​

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pretzel crust. Pour the gelatin mixture over the cream cheese layer  and chill until set. For a little extra crunch you can top with crushed pecans.
