Two recipes stirred together makes one amazing recipe.

Earlier this year when we went strawberry picking, we thought how amazing freezer peach jam would be too - not only that... but what if we made a combo strawberry and peach jam!! Back 16 years ago Andy and I made 9 gallons of strawberry peach jam for our wedding favors, but freezer jam is SO much easier and tastes better, I think. I tried to find a recipe and failed... miserably. So I opted to make two full recipes - one of strawberry and one of peach - then we stirred them together and viola - Strawberry Peach Freezer Jam! Or Jelly as I grew up calling it. Oh my... oh my!! So good! We did use the food processor to chop up both fruits, that seems to work better for some reason for the Certo pectin. Thankfully, I had jars from my mom that worked great for the freezer. The peach tree keeps on producing so we may just make some peach jam too to add to the freezer, guess we'll see what the rest of the season brings. So, here's two full recipes - stir them together and there you go...

Stem and crush strawberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
Mix SURE-JELL CERTO Premium Liquid Fruit Pectin and lemon juice in small bowl. Add to strawberry mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
