Strawberry Freezer Jam

This is what I have left to do!
My dad went to Crossroads this past weekend to buy strawberries from Merlin Blackwoods farm.  I asked him to get me four gallons of strawberries for $9.00 each. They are yummy but what was I thinking! I have been busy yesterday evening and today making strawberry freezer jam. I made 8 pints, 17 half-pints and 3-4 oz jars. I still have two gallons and 1 quart of strawberries left.

This is my Mother-In-Law's recipe:

Strawberry Freezer Jam
  
1 quart strawberries (2 cups crushed)
4 cups sugar
Mix berries and sugar well
Separately combine 3/4 cup water, 1 box Surejel and bring to boil, boil 1 min stirring constantly
Stir the Surejel/water mixture into the strawberries and stir for 3 min.
Ladle into jars
Leave at room temperature for 24 hours. Put in freezer.
