How To Make strawberry habanero jam

• Step 1
  Rinse strawberries in cold running water and hull them. Quarter strawberries and place in a heavy-bottomed pot, add sugar, habaneros and orange juice. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.

  Step 2
  Stir occasionally until the jam reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 25-35 minutes. Use a potato masher to smash the strawberries. If you desire a less chunky consistency, you can use a food processor or immersion blender to blend it smooth.

  Step 3
  Remove pot from heat. Place jam in bowl or jelly jars and allow to come to room temperature. Then store in the refrigerator.
