Instructions

1. In a heavy bottomed pot, add the strawberries and give it a few mashes. Next, add the white balsamic vinegar, and pectin. Give it a stir. Place the pot over medium heat and stir. As the berries start to break down and give off its juices, use a masher and smash the berries down. You can leave bigger pieces if you prefer but mashed with small bits is what we’re going for in this recipe.
2. Bring the pectin picture to a rolling boil. Add in the sugar and stir. Bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. During this time, skim off the foam. Add in the butter as that will help collect the foam and make it easier to remove.
3. Once it’s at the rolling boil stage, set a timer for 1 minute exactly and stir constantly. When the timer is up, remove from the heat, stir in the pepper, and jar accordingly.
