Description
A delightful fusion of sweet strawberries and spicy jalapenos, creating a vibrant jam perfect for spreads and culinary creations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups diced strawberries
- 1 cup diced jalapeños (with seeds for spiciness)
- 1.75 oz box fruit pectin
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups sugar
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large stock pot, place the diced strawberries, jalapenos, and the entire box of fruit pectin. Using a wooden spoon, smash everything together until the strawberries start to break down and the pectin is dissolved.
- Add vinegar: Stir in the apple cider vinegar fully to incorporate its tangy flavor.
- Heat it up: Set the pot over medium heat, bringing it to a steady boil. Don’t rush this process; watch the mixture bubble with anticipation.
- Incorporate sugar: Once boiling, add the sugar, one cup at a time. Stir steadily until it’s fully dissolved. Keep that joyful boil rolling for one minute.
- Jar it up: Remove your pot from the heat. Carefully use a funnel to pour the bubbling jam into your prepared pint-sized jars, avoiding any spillage.
- Cool completely: Let the jars cool down completely before placing on the lids. This allows the jam to set beautifully!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator once opened, lasting about three weeks. For long-term storage, keep sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
