Strawberry Freezer Jam

Is there anything better than a recipe from your grandma?  Nope.  I think not.  This freezer jam is incredible.  Like...I can't even.  I could literally eat it with a spoon strait from the jar.  I don't.  But I could.  It's amazing on toast, rolls, waffles, on top of yogurt...basically anything carb.  Just put it on all the carbs.

2 cups crushed strawberries
4 cups sugar
1 box Sure-Jell (the yellow box...she said that's important)
3/4 cup water

Clean, dry, and remove the tops of your fresh strawberries.  Crush 'em up (blender, food processor, potato masher...whatever) and add the sugar.  Mix the sugar and crushed strawberries really well and let them sit for 10 minutes.

In a small saucepan combine the Sure-Jell and water.  Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.  Pour the boiled Sure-Jell into the strawberry mixture and stir for 3 minutes.

Ladle the strawberry mixture into clean, dry jars and place the lid on the jar.  Allow the jam to sit on the counter for 24 hours.  Pop in the freezer and store until ready to use.  When you're ready to eat it, thaw the jam in the fridge for 24 hours.
