Strawberry Preserves

2 cups crushed ripe strawberries
4 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1 box pectin

In a bowl, add sugar to fruit and let stand 10 minutes, until sugar
is mostly dissolved.

Mix water and pectin in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Boil
for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir
the pectin into the fruit; stir for 3 minutes.

Ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2" headroom.  Seal with
sterilized lids.  Let stand at room temp until jam is set (about
one day), then freeze.

This makes 5 or 6 8-oz jars.
