Habanero Jelly Recipe
I have been sharing it with friends and family and I have to say that I have yet to receive a negative review. Munchkin did say (in her cute 5-year-old voice) "it's a little bit sicy (that means spicy), but I like it!" Of course, she thinks anything more seasoned than ketchup is a little spicy. One of our friends actually told us that we should bottle it and sell it. Another friend that we shared it with put it on everything.
This fabulous creation comes together with just 4 ingredients.
The strawberry flavor shines through and the habanero lends its fruity, citrusy flavor, and its floral aroma to this divine everything spread.
The sugar mellows the heat from the habanero to give you all the flavor with a tiny bite. Truly an all around everything spread. What food are you spreading it on?

Helpful Tips to make Strawberry Habanero Everything Spread:
- You can adapt the recipe to suit your heat level. We have made the following:1 alarm - mild heat - 1 habanero, seeds and veins removed2 alarm - medium heat - 2 habaneros, seeds and veins removed3 alarm - hot heat - 3 habaneros diced (seeds and veins included)4 alarm - fire - We have not make this level yet, but we would love to hear what you all come up with.
- I have not canned these as we love it so much it goes too fast. I put it in a glass bowl or 2 jelly jars and store it in the fridge.
- Jam will keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks (much longer from my experience). But, it will keep longer, if you pack and seal in canning jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What you will need to make Strawberry Habanero Everything Spread:
- Heavy bottomed pot- heavy bottom pots are thicker at the bottom for a more even cooking distribution.
- Jelly Jars - if you don't have a stockpile of these I highly recommend you invest in some. Interestly Amazon and Ace Hardware are my 2 favorite places to find them. I use them for everything making whipped cream, storing salad dressings, jams, jelly, drinking glasses.
- Disposable Vinyl Gloves - The first time Chad suggested I wear gloves to cut up habaneros I laughed at him. Until... I wiped the back of my hand across the nose and upper lip. It hadn't directly touched the peppers, I had already washed my hands... But oh my goodness my face was on fire for hours. Now I have 2 boxes in my pantry at all times.
- Hands-Free Over the Sink Strainer - Perfect for working in and out of the strainer without worrying about it tipping over or having to hold it.
Enjoy!

Strawberry Habanero Everything Spread is our latest obsession. A sweet strawberry spread with a fantastic citrusy flavor and a little bite at the end. Perfect, just perfect! This simple recipe comes together with just 4 ingredients and you will be making it all year long!
prep time: 10 MINScook time: 25 MINStotal time: 35 mins
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 3 cups sugar
- 2 habaneros, seeds and veins removed (diced) (this makes medium heat)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries in cold running water and hull them. Quarter strawberries and place in a heavy-bottomed pot, add sugar, habaneros and orange juice. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
- Stir occasionally until the spread reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Use a potato masher to smash strawberries if you desire a less chunky consistency or you can transfer to a food processor and blend it smooth.
- Remove pot from heat. If you are not food processing it, place jam in bowl or jelly jars and allow to come to room temperature. Then store in the refrigerator.
