Strawberry Chipotle Jam
From choclytcandy 12 years agoIngredients
- 1 quart strawberries (about 1 ½ lbs.) Try to select 1 cup of slightly-unripe berries shopping list
- 1 large juicy lemon, zested and juiced shopping list
- 3 cups sugar shopping list
- 2-3 chipotle peppers, minced (canned) shopping list
- ¼ tsp. salt shopping list
How to make it
- Chop half of the berries into small pieces and smash the rest of the berries. You should have approximately 3 cups—a little extra is ok.
- In a saucepan combine the lemon zest, juice, sugar and salt over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Add all the berries and minced chipotle peppers to the pan. Bring to a low boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Then, check the gel consistency by placing a small amount on a frozen surface. Run your fingers through it. If it separates and is not runny, remove the jam from heat. If it is still runny, simmer another 5-10 minutes and check again. The jam could take 10-40 minutes to gel properly.
- Place the hot jam in sterilized jars. Either seal in a hot water bath (according to proper canning technique) or refrigerate immediately.
- Yields 3-4 6 oz. jars (Depending on how long it simmers).
