NOTES: We like to use fresh lemon juice in this recipe, to us it really makes a difference in the
flavor. But can use 1 T. bottled lemon juice concentrate + 1 T. water instead.
​
Cornaby's E-Z Gel is a modified cornstarch that is non GMO and gluten free. It acts quickly to thicken without the use of heat. When letting it sit for the 5 minutes: set your timer please!! No
guessing.
​
For the freezer containers: we like to use either the ball plastic freezer containers, or the zip-loc
screw lid containers.
​
**can use strawberries or any other ripe fruit.....some fruits will need to be peeled before chopping.

Easy Fast Freezer Strawberry Jam
This is low sugar jam using Cornaby's E Z Gel... We like it because it has a wonderful fruit flavor,
and more fruit than sugar!!
​
​
Wash and prepare strawberries, removing stems and any bruises. Finely chop the prepared berries using a food processor or sharp knife. For best results always use good quality ripe red strawberries.
​
4 c. chopped strawberries**
2 c. sugar
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. + 1 T. E-Z Gel (see notes above)
​
Measure 4 cups fine-chopped strawberries and place in a medium bowl. Add sugar and lemon juice; stir well. Gradually add the E-Z Gel, stirring constantly until well mixed in. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to thicken and then stir until smooth. Jam can be used fresh or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. If freezing: pour into freezer proof airtight containers leaving 3/4-inch space at the top for jam to expand when frozen. Can freeze for up to one year. When taking a container from freezer to use: let it thaw in the fridge overnight; use within a weeks time.
