Strawberry Balsamic & Black Pepper Preserves
(adapted from this recipe from Canadian Living)
Using the remaining 1/3 of the Organic Strawberry Jam batch and add:
- 4 more cups crushed strawberries
- ½ cup cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp coarsely cracked black pepper or to taste
Directions: Bring this mixture to a boil again – a hard boil for 1 minute stirring constantly– and then can just like the strawberry jam. Voila! Strawberry Jam Two Ways.
Great recipe! I wouldn’t have thought to try that. Looks delish. Love the jars – can you point me in the direction to find some? :)
Sure, Steph, they are Bernardin Jars: http://www.homecanning.ca/pages/jars/28.php.
What a fantastic idea! That sounds like it’s be amazing. My mind of full of ideas for how to use the finished jam, too – I wonder if it’d be good shaken into a summer cocktail?
Thanks Gen. I put some strawberry jam on my gruel this morning with blueberries, pumpkin seeds and raw cacao and goji berries. Hell Yeah!
Oooh, I made a similar recipe over July 4th weekend and it was the best jam I’ve made yet!
What a great idea to add black pepper to balsamic strawberries! Never thought of that addition but I can just imagine it would work very well.
YUM! Sounds heavenly!
I have been seeking inspiration today before hauling out some berries from the freezer to make more jam & jelly. This recipe sounds like what I was looking for!!
I am going to try it with either loganberries or blackberries or maybe even salal…
Thanks so much!!
Hi Michelle, I’m so glad you are inspired!
