Description

A sweet and spicy jam made with fresh strawberries and jalapeños. Perfect for spreading, glazing, or gifting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed strawberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 2 medium jalapeños (finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat))
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 packet fruit pectin (e.g., Sure-Jell)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Sterilize jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, jalapeños, and lemon juice. Add pectin.
  3. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Add all the sugar at once, return to a boil, and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Ladle hot jam into jars, leaving ¼ inch of headspace. Wipe rims and seal.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Let cool undisturbed for 12–24 hours before storing.

Notes

  • Adjust spice level by increasing or decreasing jalapeños (with or without seeds).

  • Use lime juice or zest for a citrusy variation.

  • Substitute sugar with honey or a low-glycemic sweetener for a lighter version.

  • Store sealed jars in a pantry for up to 12 months. Refrigerate after opening.
