Simple Way to Strawberry Freezer Jam Without Pectin

Freezer Pear Honey Jam

Just because strawberry jam is typically preserved by canning doesn't mean you have to do it that way.

Recipe Summary Freezer Pear Honey Jam

Freezer pear honey jam. Never had attempted this before. It was so easy and such a crowd-pleaser I plan to do this over and over again.

Ingredients | Strawberry Freezer Jam Without Pectin

5 pounds Bartlett pears, peeled and cut into chunks

2 ½ cups sugar, or more to taste

1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice

lemon, juiced

Directions

Combine pears, sugar, crushed pineapple, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Pulse in batches in a food processor until coarsely chopped.

Pour pear mixture into a large pot; bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.

Ladle into a freezer bag, seal, and transfer to the freezer.

I think you could do this with strawberries, raspberries, peaches or about any kind if fruit you desired. You might have to add a little apple juice if it seems to need it.

You could use up to 4 cups sugar. I used 2 1/2 cups and thought it was still plenty sweet.
