how to: make more stuff that seems impressive but really is not

freezer jam is the best thing since sliced bread and it also goes on sliced bread so that's wonderful too!

i first tried some at jeremy's dads and it's a little like the strawberry compote they put on top of funnel cakes and it's a lot delicious and you can make it in under 10 minutes and then be like 'oh i made jam and it's only 9 am!'.

it stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3 weeks and in the freezer for up to a year.

step one: wash approximately 4 cups of strawberries and remove the stems.

step two: crush the strawberries into a puree but leave some chunks. this spoon is for show i totally used my hands.

step three: add the crushed strawberries to 1 1/2 cups of sugar and a package of freezer jam pectin and stir for three minutes. you can find freezer jam pectin at grocery stores or canadian tire.

step four: ladle jam into jars, allow to sit for 30 minutes, stick in freezer or fridge.

i really can't believe how easy this recipe is and how delicious. like better than the jam that takes way longer to make by far. it doesn't last as long i guess but if you have some that's close to its expiry date just call me over, i'd be glad to help.
