Strawberry Refrigerator Jammy Sauce



This can be whatever you want it to be...it's a great jam for toast, or a sauce for waffles, ice cream or cake!  And it's delicious!!!  I have made several "batches" of it already.  I am smitten!

Strawberry Refrigerator Jammy Sauce

12 cups washed and sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups Splenda (or 4 cups regular sugar)
6 Tablespoons fruit pectin
1Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla

Put the strawberries in a large pan or skillet.  Add Splenda or sugar.  Mash with a potato masher to break them up a bit.  Add lemon juice, vanilla and fruit pectin. Heat to boiling; then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, over low heat for at least 20 minutes… longer is fine too, as I let mine simmer for about an hour. Mash again with potato masher to desired consistency... I like mine a bit chunky!  This photo shows the mixture in the skillet before heating.



Remove from heat and let cool.  Spoon or ladle into jars or containers.  Will keep in refrigerator for two to three weeks.
