Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh raspberries washed and dried
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup jalapeno peppers finely minced
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a medium sized saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Place over medium high heat and continue to stir until the berries begin to burst and sugar is dissolved.
  • Use a potato masher, or the back of the spoon to press the berries until smooth.
  • Increase the temperature slightly and cook until the jam reaches 220 degrees, stirring every few minutes. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove jam from heat and allow to cool slightly, before transferring to jars for storage.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer: I find that when making a pectin-free jam like this one, using a candy thermometer to check the temperature helps to achieve the perfect consistency. 
  • Remove the seeds from the jalapenos: Be sure to remove both the seeds and the membranes when cutting the jalapenos to keep the jam from becoming overly spicy.
  • Store in the refrigerator: The jars of jam should be stored in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to three months. You can also freeze the jam in freezer-safe containers for up to a year.
