Freezer Jam

Last week our Walmart had strawberries on sale for $0.98 and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make some jam!  Normally I can my jam doing the hot water bath method, but this time I decided to try freezer jam.  I had done it only once before, with my friend Alisha when we lived in Rexburg.  I had forgotten how absolutely simple it is!  Normally when I do jam it is something I plan on doing after the boys are to bed so they aren't around the boiling jam and jars...plus three little boys are such a handful anyways.  I whipped this up right before dinner time and let them sneak tastes of it before it set up.  I think I may do all my jam this way this year!  In March we purchased a deep freeze for our basement, so I will have plenty of room to store it.  The only thing I regret is that I didn't have time to make some bread...because what's better than fresh jam on homemade bread?
