Jalapeno Strawberry Jam Sweet Heat

Print Recipe

Sweet strawberries meet jalapeno heat for a spread that lifts toast or cheese boards with bold flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 grams fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 to 3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 400 grams granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon powdered fruit pectin

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine diced strawberries, chopped jalapeño peppers, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. When the mixture reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until strawberries have softened and mixture has slightly thickened.
  4. In a small bowl, dissolve powdered fruit pectin with 2 tablespoons water, stirring until completely blended.
  5. Stir the dissolved pectin into the simmering strawberry mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool briefly.
  7. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Let jars cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Notes

For optimal flavor and shelf stability, use only sterilized jars and lids. Allow the jam to cool fully before refrigeration.
