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.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I always have a few extra berries at the end of the season, and this is a delicious way to preserve them.

Be careful not to overcook the jam, or the habaneros will become too spicy. I learned this the hard way the first time I made it!

This jam is perfect for adding a little something extra to your favorite dishes. I love it on toast, but it's also great as a glaze for chicken or fish.

I've never been a big fan of spicy jams, but this one has changed my mind. The strawberry and habanero flavors are so well-balanced that the heat is more of a pleasant warmth than an overwhelming burn.
