Ingredients

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 ripe, flavorful strawberries for the best jam. Overripe or bruised berries will not yield a good-quality jam.
Use fresh habanero peppers for the best flavor. If you cannot find fresh habaneros, you can use dried habaneros, but be sure to rehydrate them before using.
Wear gloves when handling habanero peppers, as they can irritate your skin.
Be careful not to overcook the jam, as this can make it too thick and syrupy.
Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
