How to Make Calico Jalapeno Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups chopped jalapenos, 3 cups sugar, 2 cups chopped red bell peppers, 1 cup chopped yellow bell peppers, 1 cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves in a large saucepan or stockpot.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil vigorously for 1 minute.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high. Stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin.
  4. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip tight.
  8. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude – consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
  9. Remove jars from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars have sealed properly.
