Freezer Jam
I was a little leary of using jello to make jam with - but I always wanted to try it and the results are excellent! I can get Jello on sale at Walgreens often as cheap as 25cents a box - this makes using jello (instead of pectin) a great (frugal) option!! My family loves this jam.

Freezer Jam
2-3 cups mashed strawberries (or other soft fruit), depending on desired thickness
3 cups sugar

Bring to a hard boil in a large pot. (It boils up)
Reduce heat to medium, skim off 'foam'
Boil 10 minutes.

Add: 1 3-oz. package flavored gelatin, your choice of flavors

Mix until well dissolved and bring to a boiling point again. Remove from heat and let set a few minutes. Stir again.

Put in sterilized jars or freezer containers and keep in refrigerator or freezer. The fun of this recipe is the options you can use! Can be easily doubled.
