I work at our Community Garden, and three days a week we harvest and distribute free produce... With all the free produce, I like to freeze and can what I am able to do.
I made up this recipe and it is a big hit with family and friends! I like things hot, so I also make it with hotter peppers and use more, but this is my original. Sometimes I use Black Raspberry Jell-O, adjust to your own taste.
Pour over cream cheese, serve with crackers. Great for chicken and ribs, use in other recipes.

This is so popular that I had to make several batches this year!

How to Make Raspberry, Jalapeno and Zucchini Jam
- Put all but last two ingredients into large stainless steel pot. Cook on medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. It will thicken as liquid evaporates.
- Add the 3 Jell-O packages. Continue cooking and stirring constantly bring to a boil that can't be stirred down for 10 minutes.
*** Sometimes I add Black Raspberry Jell-O instead of raspberry, this is to get a darker jam. - Add the 3 Sure Jell. Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Put in sterilized jars to 1/4 inch headspace. Remove any scum and air bubbles. Wipe rims. Place lids and rings to fingertip tight.
- Put jars in boiling water bath and process for 20 minutes with canner lid on. Remove lid. Wait 5 minutes.
- Remove jars from canner to a towel lined surface. Let sit and cool 24 hours before storing. Make sure jars are sealed.
