Crock-Pot Strawberry Jam is full of strawberry goodness. Easy to make and one that tastes better than the store brought brands. I love to spread it in a toasted muffin, hot biscuits, or even just a slice of toast for breakfast.
I have made this recipe with both fresh picked strawberries and frozen strawberries. Both make for delicious Crock-Pot Strawberry Jam.
My family prefers their strawberry jam with out too much chunks. I run the jam in a food processor before putting the jam in jars. This helps limit the chunks and makes the jam more smoother. My kids like to spread this on toast in the mornings before getting on the bus. The jam spreads easier and from what my youngest says, it makes it taste better.
Can I freeze this Crock-Pot Strawberry Jam?
Absolutely! This jam freezes very well for up to 3 months. It is not recommended that you freeze the jam in a glass jar (they can break) but there are plenty of smaller size plastic containers with lids that you can freeze.
