Strawberry Pineapple Freezer Jam
2 c. strawberries (mashed to the chunky/smoothness you like)
1/2 c. canned crushed pineapple with syrup
2 T. lemon juice
5 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1 box powered sugar
1 box fruit pectin
Mix together your mashed strawberries, the crushed pineapple and lemon juice.
Thoroughly mix sugar and fruit and set aside.
Mix water and fruit pectin in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir into the fruit mixture.
Continue stirring about 3 minutes, although a few sugar crystals will remain. Quickly pour into jars using a funnel on top of the jar. Cover the jars right away with clean tight lids. Leave the jars on the counter until set, 24 hours.
Store in freezer. If jam will be used with 2-3 weeks then you can place in the fridge.
Makes about 7 pint size jars.
*This was a fun twist on regular Strawberry Freezer Jam, which we also love. It just has a slight pineapple taste to it, depending on how crushed your pineapple is.
Try this one out and let me know what you think!
