Easiest recipe is freezer jam
I make every year - missed last year!
1 Qt strawberries, washed, hulled & crushed (should be 2 cups)
4 C sugar
3/4 C water
1 box Sure Jell (fruit pectin)
Mix strawberries & sugar - let stand 10 minutes, but stir occaisionally
mix water & pectin in pan, bring to boil - stirring constantly. Add to fruit and stir about 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
Pour into containers.
Let stand 24 hours. Freeze. Yum!
The jars and lids should be dipped in boiling water and dried thoroughly. I think this makes 5 or 6 jars.

Does it have to stay frozen once made? Son is 1,500 miles away so I have to ship to him. Hubby walked by and saw the recipe so I now have to make him some too (LOL).

But they should be refridgerated - ship it frozen with a cold pack in styrofoam. Send it by a quick shipper. I make enough to last a year so they stay in the freezer til we need them.
Enjoy!

Or...
You can make the jam recipe that is in the sure jell box and process it in a water bath. Don't have a water bath? Got a large pan? You can do it. PM me if you want details, I have some strawberry jam here I made a couple of weeks ago.
