Strawberry Freezer Jam

This is my mom's strawberry freezer jam recipe.  It tastes super good on fresh whole wheat bread, mom's rolls, or a PB&J sandwich.  It is actually really easy to make, inexpensive (especially in the summer when fruit is cheap), and the best jam ever!

INGREDIENTS
3 1/4 c strawberries
1 box sure jell pectin
1 c light Karo syrup
1/4 c lemon juice
4 1/2 c sugar

DIRECTIONS
Puree strawberries in blender.  Place pureed strawberries in a large pot and mix in pectin.  Let strawberries and pectin sit for 30 min stirring every 10 minutes.  Mix in syrup and juice.  Mix in sugar 1 cup at a time.  Heat mixture to room temperature or until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat and pour into cleaned and dry glass jars (nine 8oz jars or 5 pint jars).  Screw on lids, put one jar in fridge and the rest in the freeze.
