Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 2 cups of fresh raspberries under cold water until clean. Crush gently in a large mixing bowl to release juices.
- Remove seeds from 1-2 jalapeños (if preferred). Slice lengthwise and chop finely to yield 1/2 cup.
- In a medium saucepan, combine crushed raspberries, chopped jalapeños, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 cups sugar, and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir over medium heat until blended, about 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rolling boil, stirring continuously for 10 minutes.
- Add 1.5 ounces of liquid fruit pectin and stir constantly for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and skim any foam off the top.
- Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/8 inch of headspace. Wipe rims for a tight seal.
- Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes to ensure sealing.
- Remove jars from boiling water and place upright on a clean towel. Cool for 12-24 hours and check seals.

Notes
Use only the ripest raspberries and freshest jalapeños for the best flavor. Customize spiciness by adjusting jalapeño quantity.
