Strawberry Margarita Jam Recipe

Inspect 9 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until filling is ready. Wash new unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

Mix strawberries tequila triple sec and lime juice together in a large stockpot. Stir in pectin and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat stirring occasionally; continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and immediately stir in sugar all at once.

Return mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir steadily to mix fruit evenly throughout jam and prevent floating fruit about 5 minutes.

Ladle jam into the hot sterilized jars filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil cover and process for 5 minutes.
