Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec)
- 1 packet Liquid fruit pectin
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then mash them with a potato masher or food processor until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
In a large saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves, bringing the mixture to a full rolling boil.
Once boiling, add the tequila and orange liqueur. Stir well to incorporate.
Add the liquid fruit pectin while stirring constantly. Return the mixture to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the jam thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized canning jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids and bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed.
Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel or cooling rack. Check the seals once cooled; any unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator and used within a few weeks.
Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year and enjoy your Strawberry Margarita Jam with toast, scones, or desserts!
