Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
3 c sugar
2 habanero peppers, seeds and veins removed (diced)
2 Tbsp orange juice

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse strawberries in cold running water and hull them. Quarter strawberries and place in a heavy-bottomed pot, add sugar, habaneros and orange juice. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  • 2. Stir occasionally until the jam reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 25-35 minutes. Use a potato masher to smash the strawberries. If you desire a less chunky consistency, you can use a food processor or immersion blender to blend it smooth.
  • 3. Remove pot from heat. Place jam in bowl or jelly jars and allow to come to room temperature. Then store in the refrigerator.
  • 4. NOTES: You can adapt the recipe to suit your desired heat level. Mild heat - 1 habanero, seeds and veins removed Medium heat - 2 habaneros, seeds and veins removed Hot heat - 3 habaneros, seeds and veins included Fire - 4 or more habaneros
  • 5. Jam will keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks. You can also process it to keep longer. Follow manufacturer's instructions if you want to can.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture in your jam. If they're too soft, they'll break down too much in the cooking process. Overripe strawberries can make the jam too runny.
  • Use a large pot or saucepan for making the jam. This will give the strawberries enough space to bubble and splatter without boiling over.
  • Stir the jam frequently while it's cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning. If you prefer, you can use a candy thermometer to accurately monitor the temperature of the jam to set it properly.
  • Test the jam for doneness by placing a small dollop on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's ready. Alternatively, measure the temperature of the jam; it should read at least 220°F (105°C) when set.
  • Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to clean, sterilized jars. This will help to prevent spoilage and ensure a longer shelf life.

Conclusion:

Strawberry habanero jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you're spreading it on toast, using it as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish, or simply enjoying it by the spoonful, this jam is sure to please your taste buds. With its sweet and spicy flavor, it's the perfect way to add a little excitement to your next meal.
