DOUBLE-BERRY JALAPENO JAM

Double-Berry Jalapeno Jam image

My friend and I had tried a fruity jam with jalapenos at a local vineyard and this is the version I created. I like this spread on crackers with cream cheese, on hamburgers or even on grilled cheese. For extra heat, add the seeds of a few jalapenos to the jam. -Lisa Keim, Watertown, New York
