2 c. mashed strawberries, about 1 qt.
1 (1 3/4 oz.) pkg. Sure-Jell fruit pectin
4 c. sugar
3/4 c. water

Stir strawberries and sugar together, mixing thoroughly. Set aside. Stir Sure-Jel and water in saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Stir mixtures together until sugar is completely dissolved and not longer grainy. Pour into containers. Cover. Let stand overnight. Store in freezer until opened. After opening, store in refrigerator. Makes 4 (8 ounce) containers.

IMPORTANT: To insure that jam sets properly, measure sugar exactly and do not reduce amount.

HELPFUL HINT: A potato masher works best for strawberries.
