Strawberry Passionfruit Jam

Boring strawberry jam? No way! This jammy mashup of strawberry and passionfruit has a bright, tangy, and strawberry-forward flavor and a gorgeous ruby red color.

This recipe is written for water-bath canning methods for shelf-stable storage, however it can also be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months!

Another year, another strawberry season, another day dragging my husband outside to pick berries. He’s a good sport about it though, and, despite the fact the actual picking is not his favorite activity, he certainly appreciates the fruits of our labors (literally).

This year’s strawberry jam (in addition to making a batch of my favorite classic strawberry jam for year-round PB&Js) brings together two fruits that I love individually—strawberry and passionfruit—and love even more together. Case in point: last year’s strawberry passionfruit lemonade which was what inspired this lively flavor combination to begin with.

Unique combo fruit jams are… well, my jam. From mango raspberry to strawberry guava, I say why use one fruit when two would be better (or hey, what about three! Or four! In fact, there’s a fabulous triple berry jam, and a ridiculously named FROG jam—fig, raspberry, orange, and ginger—in my book, and they are definitely some of my favorites).

When it comes to kinds of fruit, the more the merrier I say! (more…)
