Equipment

Ingredients

4 Cups strawberries fresh
1 Tablespoon butter unsalted
3 jalapeños roughly chopped
1 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ Cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice fresh
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Teaspoon liquid smoke
1 Cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat a saucepan over medium heat.
Remove the stem from strawberries. Add to a Ziploc bag and mash.
Remove the stems from jalapeños and add to a food processor or blender and pulse to break up.
Add butter to the pan. Once melted, add the jalapeños, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients to the saucepan and stir. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
Once mixture starts to boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Let sit covered for 5 minutes.
Pour into jars and allow to cool completely.
Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Notes

Taste before jarring: Adjust the spice or sweetness to your liking before cooling.
Use gloves for jalapeños: Protect your hands when handling spicy peppers.
Let it chill overnight: This helps the flavors fully develop and the texture firm up.
Use sterilized jars: For longer storage, make sure your jars are clean and dry.
