Raspberry Sweet Heat Jam

Raspberry Sweet Heat Jam - This sweet & spicy condiment or appetizer item sure is a tasty addition to cheese & crackers or toast!
Ingredients
- 8 Cups Raspberries
- 4 Sliced Sweet Heat Peppers
- 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
- 6 Tbs Pectin (or 1 package of Pectin in the Box)
- 6 Cups Sugar
Instructions
- Combine Raspberries, Sweet Heat Peppers and Lemon Juice into a Dutch oven or cooking pot.
- Stir and bring up to a boil. Lower to a simmer and add the Pectin, stir until combined.
- Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved, then bring the mixture back up to a boil.
- Continue to boil and stir occasionally to prevent sticking/scorching for 5 min.
- Then add the jam to warmed jars, leaving a 1/2" headspace.
- Wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
- Place jars into water bath canner for processing, making sure water covers the jars by an inch or two. The minimum processing time is 15 min; add as necessary based on your altitude.
- Once processing is complete, let the jars sit in the water bath canner for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
- After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
- If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
Notes
This sweet and medium spicy jam sure is tasty! Like it hot, add more peppers or a spicier pepper. Like it mild, add fewer peppers or a milder pepper.
