Raspberry Jalapeño Jam Food

RASPBERRY JALAPEñO JAM

Steps:

• Prepare your water bath canner. Fill the canner with enough water so that once the jars are in the canner, they will be covered by at least one inch of water. Cover and begin to heat over a medium-high heat.
• Measure out sugar. Set aside.
• Place the raspberries in a large, non reactive kettle. Crush them. Stir in jalapeños. Add ¼ teaspoon of butter, if desired, to reduce foaming.
• Sprinkle and stir in the pectin. Cook over high heat until a rolling boil is reached, stirring consistently.
• Once a rolling boil is reached, slowly stir in sugar.
• Continue to stir until you reach another rolling boil that can not be stirred down. Once a rolling boil is reached, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Ladle jelly into prepared jelly jars, wipe the rims with a damp cloth, add lids, and tighten rings to fingertip tight. Put into the water bath canner. When the canner has a steady boil going, time and process for 10 minutes.
• Once the jelly is done processing, remove the canner from heat and let jars rest in the water for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, remove jars from the canner and allow to cool for 12-24 hours before moving.

RASPBERRY JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• Prepare jars, lids, and canner.
• Wash raspberries making sure to remove stems and leaves. Prepare jalapeno peppers by washing and removing the seeds. Chop peppers into desired bites, I prefer very small pieces which have been finely chopped.
• In a heavy bottom saucepan (enamel Dutch oven) add raspberries, jalapeno peppers, and sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a full boil (roughly 5-10 mins), stirring continually to prevent the berries from scorching.
• Skim any excessive foam that forms. Don't kill yourself over this step! Simply remove as much of the foam as possible.
• Once the sugar has fully dissolved, allow the jam to cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Ladle jam into clean, warm 1/2 pint mason jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
• Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth. Add warm rings and lids to jar - finger tight.
• Process the jars in a steam canner or boiling water bath canner. The processing time is based on the altitude in which you reside, see chart in the article.

RASPBERRY JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• Prepare a small canning pot and two half pint jars. Place lids in a small saucepan of water and bring to a bare simmer.
• In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries and sugar. Using a wooden spoon, stir the sugar into the fruit, mashing the fruit up a bit as you go.
• Once the raspberries begin to release some juice and the sugar is starting to dissolve, scrape the fruit and sugar mixture into a wide, 4-quart saucepan. Add the jalapeno.
• Bring the jam to a boil over high heat, stirring regularly, until the berries break down and the syrup thickens. You should smell both the sweetness of the sugar and the heat of the chili.
• Once the jam has thickened to a spreadable consistency and passes the plate test, add the lemon juice.
• Remove pan from the heat and fish out the wilted jalapeno. Funnel the finished jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
• When jars are cool, remove rings and test seals. Any unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator.
• Serve this jam with fresh goat cheese or alongside cold meats.
