Strawberry Jalapeño Jam

Strawberry Jalapeño Jam is a sweet and spicy fruit spread made from fresh strawberries, sugar, green bell pepper and jalapeño peppers. It combines the natural sweetness of strawberries with the heat of jalapeños, resulting in a flavorful jam that balances sweetness with a spicy kick. This jam is used as a condiment on toast, biscuits, or cheese platters, and can also be incorporated into marinades or glazes for a touch of heat and fruitiness.

Strawberry Jalapeño Jam is also delightful spooned over the top of a block of cream cheese to be used as a spread for your favorite crackers.
