This is another of our preserves where we seek to help the farmers prevent waste by having them collect "seconds", bruised, undersized and oversized product not fit for farmers market sale. What we end up with is a collection of fruit so sweet from so much of the overripe product that our sugar to fruit ratio is sometimes as low as 1:6 vs. the traditional 1:1. For this version of our strawberry jam we add our house made pickled jalapenos for a little spicy vinegar kick to offset the strawberry sweetness.
Ingredients: Strawberries, jalapenos, organic cane sugar, pectin, lemon juice.
