Strawberry Gewürztraminer Freezer Jam

1. Mash the strawberries with a potato masher into small chunks. (Don’t use the food processor for this, I hear if you break it down too much, you break down the pectin and it won’t set.)

2. Combine the strawberries, wine, and pectin in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil (don’t jump the gun, let it really boil!), and cook for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar until it’s dissolved.

3. Pour the mixture into freezer jam containers (or any freezer-safe container that tickles your fancy), leaving at least half an inch of room from the top of the container, and move to the refrigerator to set up overnight.

Notes:

De-boozify it! Use white grape juice if you aren’t so wine-inclined.
I used Ball no sugar needed pectin, which is how I got away with using so little.
If you don’t have any Gewürztraminer on hand, you can substitute any light, crisp and slightly sweet white wine.
