Method
Preparation
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Use a fork or potato masher to mash them into a chunky consistency. Set aside.
- Wearing gloves, carefully chop the jalapeños. Remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.
Cooking
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mashed strawberries, chopped jalapeños, sugar, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Following the instructions on your packet, add the pectin to the mixture. Bring it to a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
- Allow the mixture to boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired thickness.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving some space at the top, and seal them while still warm.
Cooling
- Let the jars cool to room temperature, then store them in the refrigerator or a cool pantry.
Notes
This jam pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes. For storage, it lasts about 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator and up to a year in the freezer. Label jars with dates.
