Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Kitchen Knife
  • 1 Basic Canning set
  • 7-8 8 oz canning jars

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Strawberries-Mashed 2lbs of berries worked perfect
  • 3 medium Jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1.75 oz Sure jell Pectin Original
  • 7 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Wash and sterilize your jars , lids and rings .
  • Clean your strawberries . I like soaking mine in a bowl of water with a couple tablespoons of vinegar.
  • Cut the tops of your strawberries off and cut them in fourths
  • You can either roughly chop the strawberries in a food processor or mash them them with a potato masher .
  • Slice the stems off the jalapenos and finely dice them with the seeds . I do these in the food processor as well
  • In a large pot combine the strawberries , jalapenos , lemon juice and sure jell . Bring it to a boil .
    4 cups Strawberries-Mashed , 3 medium Jalapeños, 1/4 cup lemon juice , 1.75 oz Sure jell Pectin
  • Once it reaches a rolling boil add the sugar and bring it back up to a boil stirring often
    7 cups granulated sugar
  • Once the mixture reaches a boil that can't be stirred down set a timer for one minute .
  • When the timer goes off remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes
  • Carefully skim the foam off the top
  • Ladle into the sterilized jars leaving 1/4 head space from the top
  • Wipe the rims with a vinegar soaked cloth
  • Place the lids on the top . Then the rings , finger tight
  • Completely submerge the jars into boiling water for 10 minutes
  • Carefully remove the jars and allow to cool for at least 12 hours . While cooling you should hear the lids ping when they seal .

Notes

I use 8 oz and 4 oz jars . I find the 4 oz jar is the perfect amount to go over a block of cream cheese . 
This recipe makes about 7 1/2 8oz jars
As long as your jars have a good seal your jam should be good for 1 year
