Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. fresh strawberries, hulled
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chipped
1/4 tsp. salt
1 pkg. (1 3/4 oz.) powdered fruit pectin
3 c. sugar

Directions:
Place half of the strawberries in a food processor; process until pureed.  Chop remaining strawberries.

In a large saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon peel, lemon juice, peppers and salt.  Stir in pectin.  Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.  Stir in sugar; return to a rolling boil.  Boil and stir 1 minute.

Remove from the heat; skim off foam.  Ladle mixture into 5 hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture.  Wipe rims.  Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.

Place jars in canner with simmering water, ensuring they are completely covered with water.  Bring to a boil; process 10 minutes.  Remove jars; cool.
