Devilishly sweet…

Strawberry jalapeño jam is such a perfect mix of fruity, spicy, and sweet. It’s perfect as a holiday jam to keep that party on its toes. Try it mixed with cream cheese for a delicious spread. Don’t be afraid, too, to make this a daily driver for some wicked PB & Js and toast.

Leave the seeds in when mincing the jalapeño peppers to keep the heat at a decent level in the jam. Removing the seeds severely limit the spiciness, especially when its battling this much sugar and fruit.

4 cups strawberries crushed
1 cup jalapeño pepper leave seeds in for extra heat, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 package powdered fruit pectin 2 ounce package
7 cups granulated white sugar

Instructions

Prep to preserve

Submerge your canning jars under boiling water for 5 minutes to sterilize.

Make the jam

Preserve your jam

Transfer the jam into your canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top of the jar.
Slide a knife or spatula around the inside of each jar to remove air bubbles. Remove any excess jam from the jar rims with a moist paper towel. Then seal the jars.
Process the jars in a boiling water canner (approximately 10 minutes, follow the canner’s instructions), then remove the jars and allow them to cool for 8 to 10 hours (overnight is a good amount of time).
Store your preservers in a dark, cool environment.
