#canning #strawberries #margarita

These strawberry preserves are something special. Sweet summer strawberries with boozy margarita flare. This gourmet spread is perfect for gift giving. Spread on a scone, spoon over vanilla ice cream or cake or eat straight from the jar. You're gonna love this one!

6 c. hulled halved strawberries
2 c. chopped cored peeled tart apples
1/4 c. lemon juice
4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. tequila
1/2 c. orange flavored liqueur
2 T. strawberry schnapps

Ladle hot preserves into hot half pint jars (8 oz.), leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.

Process for 10 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes

Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.
