Description

This Hot Pepper Cranberry Jam combines the tartness of fresh cranberries with a spicy kick from jalapeños or serrano peppers. Perfect for holiday gifting or as a zesty addition to cheese boards and roasted meats, this jam offers a delightful balance of sweet and spicy flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh cranberries
  • 23 hot peppers (jalapeños or serrano), finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1 pouch (3 oz) liquid pectin

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cranberries and Peppers: Rinse the cranberries and finely chop the hot peppers, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Set aside.
  • Cook the Mixture: In a large pot, combine the cranberries, chopped hot peppers, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Add the Sugar: Once boiling, gradually add the sugar, stirring constantly until dissolved. Continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the cranberries to burst and the mixture to thicken.
  • Add the Pectin: Stir in the liquid pectin and return to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Jar the Jam: Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids and rings.
  • Process the Jars: Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool undisturbed on a towel until the lids seal.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of hot peppers based on your desired spice level.
  • Ensure your jars are properly sterilized to maintain freshness.
