food Strawberry Surprise Jam

This is a very simple Strawberry Jam recipe, with huge Strawberry flavour and quite a lick of heat  :twisted:
 
2.5 lbs strawberries (fresh or frozen). I used frozen, so defrosted first.
4 cups white sugar
juice of 4 limes
25 Butch T Trinidad Scorpions
4 tablespoons Ball liquid pectin
 
Recipe makes roughly 4 pints.
 
Put strawberries in a large pan, crushing the berries as you go and bring to a slow boil. Don`t smash them to bits unless you like a smoother texture jam. 
 
While the strawberries are heating, put the Butch Ts and lime juice in a blender. Be careful and blend to a puree. Add the puree to the strawberry mixture. 
Once the mixture is boiling, add the sugar and mix the sugar in carefully. It`s both very hot and extremely hot  :P I used a splash guard to keep the mixture off me, the dogs and the cooker   :fireball:
Bring to a rolling boil. If you used frozen strawberries you`ll need to boil the mixture more than if they were fresh. 
 
Boil until the temp of the  mixture is 220°F, then add the pectin and stir for 1 minute or until dissolved. Can as per usual.
 
 
 
I made some Lemon Drop Lemon jelly and I absolutely love it!
 
But....six and a quarter Butch T peppers per pint would kill me!
 
Nice, Nigel...make fun of the pepper wimp!
