Tested and approved: Wash and halve the strawberries, then place them in a large pot. Halve the bell peppers, deseed them, and remove the white pith. Heat in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes to loosen the skin. Remove and peel off the skin, then add to the strawberries. Add the gelling sugar and mix well. Add the deseeded and chopped chili pepper. Purée with a hand blender and cook according to the instructions on the gelling sugar packet. Then fill into prepared screw-top jars. The delicate paprika flavor combined with the sweet strawberries is simply delicious, and the chili pepper rounds it all off—you can barely tell it’s there. I was skeptical at first, too, but the jam has now become a hit with my kids, too.
