JALAPENO STRAWBERRY JAM
This is a favorite in our family at Christmas. This jam is not spicy, but can be made to be spicy by adding more peppers or a few habanero peppers. The flavor of the sweet strawberries combined with the flavor of the peppers gives this jam a wonderful flavor dimension. The strawberries may be frozen (thawed and crushed) and the peppers may be canned (drained and chopped).

Steps:
- Place the crushed strawberries, minced jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, and pectin into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once simmering, stir in the sugar until dissolved, return to a boil, and cook for 1 minute.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Allow to cool overnight Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

STRAWBERRY JALAPENO JAM
Consider keeping the jalapeno seeds and membranes, otherwise the results will be good, but mild. Also, remember to use disposable latex gloves when handling peppers. I can't guarantee the recipe should you reduce the sugar because I've never made it otherwise. Sure-Jell Premium (yellow box) requires a certain amount of sugar to gel properly. (I do have another jalapeno jelly recipe, recipe #460242. It's considerably less work and equally divine.) BTW, should any recipe fail, see recipe #151544.

Steps:
- Sterilize eight half pint canning jars with lids and rings, boiling for at least 5 minutes and kept hot.
- Place the crushed strawberries (do not chop in a food processer; the texture will be too fine and choppy), processed jalapeno pepper, lemon juice and pectin into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan; stir in the sugar to dissolve. Rapidly bring to a boil over high heat (long, slow boiling destroys the pectin). Once at a full rolling boil, cook for 1 full minute. One half teaspoon butter may be added to keep down the foam, if desired. Letting this mixture sit for about 5 minutes discourages the fruit from separating.
- Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. Remove the jars and place onto a cloth-covered or heat-resistance surface. (While cooling, I shake frequently to redistribute content.) Allow to cool overnight. Store in a cool, dark area.

- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful strawberries: Overripe or bruised strawberries will not produce a good-quality jam.
- Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños will give the jam a bright, spicy flavor. If using dried jalapeños, be sure to rehydrate them before using.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: The oils in jalapeños can cause skin irritation.
- Use a large pot: The jam will expand as it cooks, so it is important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
- Cook the jam over medium heat: Cooking the jam over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning.
- Stir the jam frequently: Stirring the jam frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Test the jam for doneness: The jam is done when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit or when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Process the jam in a hot water bath: Processing the jam in a hot water bath will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.
Conclusion:
Jalapeno strawberry jam is a unique and delicious spread that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or even ice cream. It is a great way to use up fresh strawberries and jalapeños, and it also makes a great gift. If you are looking for a new and exciting jam recipe, be sure to try this one.
