Wash and hull the strawberries. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until you have 2 cups of slightly chunky puree.
Peel and mash the bananas in a separate bowl until you have 1 cup of puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry and banana purees. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice, and stir until the sugar is fully mixed in. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small saucepan, combine the powdered fruit pectin and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
Quickly pour the pectin mixture into the fruit mixture. Stir thoroughly for 3 minutes to ensure everything is fully blended.
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion. Seal the containers with lids.
Let the containers stand at room temperature for 24 hours to set. Once set, store in the freezer for up to 1 year or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy your Banana Strawberry Freezer Jam on toast, in smoothies, or however you like!
