Red Pepper Strawberry Jam

September 11, 2020 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

Get ready because your morning toast just got a big wake up call. My latest recipe for this red pepper strawberry jam will add that delicious zing to your breakfast and so much more. I love growing fresh vegetables and fruits. I have tons of different peppers in my garden this year and they are coming out of my ears. Furthermore, I have several pounds of strawberries and I didn’t know what to do with so much fruit.

Making berry preserves is a great idea but I didn’t want to do an ordinary jam because “ordinary” isn’t my cup of tea. Since I have buckets of red chilies ready to be eaten why not combine the two. I always have a jar of pepper jelly in my pantry because I love it on appetizers. Pepper jelly is available at so many grocery stores but not other spicy jams. I love sweet and spicy foods and this red pepper strawberry jam turned out to be that perfect blend. Not to mention that these preserves are great at brunch but perfect with appetizers.

These preserves are fine being stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to a year. If you would like to can this please use this guideline at the National Center For Home Food Preservation. If making this red pepper strawberry jam for gifts canning is a good method.

Servings 8 1/2 pt jars
Author Joseph Sciascia of Recipe For A Party

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs (8 cups) strawberries, hulled and cut in quarters
  • 2 large red bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • 4 hot red chilies, like Fresno chilies, seeded and diced
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 -1.75 ounce packets of pectin
  • 1 tbsp butter, vegan butter or margarine (this keeps the foaming down when cooking the jam)

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, let rest on counter for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing a bit with a potato masher

  2. Heat a large heavy bottomed pot on the stove-top to medium high and add the strawberry mixture, bring to a low boil and cook for 20 minutes, or until thickens, stirring occasionally

  3. Let cool and pour into jars and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or store in the freezer for up to a year. I filled 8- 1/2 pint jars with enough head space for expanding in the freezer

  4. If canning, please refer to these canning guidelines at the National Center For Home Food Preservation
