Ingredients

  • 3 jalapeno peppers -diced stems and seeds removed for mild jam, you can adjust the heat level by how many seeds you use.

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • zest from 1 lime
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Remove the stems and seeds (if making mild) from the jalapenos and dice them.
  • Add jalapenos, cranberries, sugar, vinegar, lime zest, lime juice and salt to a pot and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until cranberries burst and mixture starts to slightly thicken, (about 7 minutes) mixture will still be liquid but should coat the back of a spoon.

  • Store in the refrigerator.
