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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, then mash them with a potato masher or food processor until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves, bringing the mixture to a full rolling boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, add the tequila and orange liqueur. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year and enjoy your Strawberry Margarita Jam with toast, scones, or desserts!
