How to Make Strawberry Margarita Jam
- Gently mash 2 cups of strawberries using a potato masher. Leave some chunks for texture.
- In a large pot, combine the mashed strawberries, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, and 2 tablespoons orange liqueur.
- Stir in 4 cups sugar. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 package (1 1/4 oz) liquid pectin.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Stir continuously for 5 minutes to fully incorporate the pectin and thicken the jam.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
- Apply lids and screw on rings, tightening to fingertip tightness.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
