Description
This Strawberry–Honey Jalapeño Jam offers a delightful balance of sweetness and heat, with a luscious, smooth texture that spreads easily on toast. The vibrant red color and aromatic notes of fresh strawberries combined with the subtle kick of jalapeños create an irresistible flavor experience that tantalizes the taste buds.
Ingredients
- Strawberries: 2 cups, hulled and chopped
- Honey: 1 cup
- Jalapeños: 2, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- Fresh Lemon Juice: 1/4 cup
- Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Pectin: 1 package (1.75 oz)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chopped strawberries, honey, jalapeños, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar and pectin, stirring constantly until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, or until the jam thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to sterilized jars.
- Seal the jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure preservation.
Notes
- This jam can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
