It’s strawberry season and to celebrate we created this Instant Pot Strawberry Habanero Preserve recipe.
It’s the sweet juicy flavor of strawberries, elevated with a hint of habanero heat.
It’s incredibly easy to make and it makes a small batch (4-half-pints).
It’s a delicious treat on biscuits or try it with my 5 Ingredient Preserve & Cream Biscuits Recipe.

Strawberry Habanero Preserves Recipe Ingredients
(Makes 4 cups)
1-quart strawberries (4 cups), hulled and chopped
Juice and zest of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons juice)
1-2 habañero peppers, seeded and minced
1 package (1 ¾ ounces) powdered fruit pectin
3 cups sugar
Strawberry Habanero Preserves Recipe Directions:
Wash and hull the strawberries.
The easiest, and fastest way, is to run a drinking straw up from the bottom to “pop” the stem off.
Chop strawberries and place in Instant Pot.
Wash habanero peppers and then remove seeds and stem and mince.
Add to Instant Pot with the chopped strawberries.
Add lime juice to strawberries and habaneros
Close lid on Instant Pot and set for Manual high + 2-minutes
While the strawberries are cooking, fill a large pot that will hold your pint jars 3/4 full with water, set over high heat and bring to a boil.
Place 3-4 (pint) jars and rings, canning funnel, and ladle into the boiling water and make sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch.
Boil for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add the lids, and leave everything in the pot until the jam is ready.
Do an All-natural release on Instant Pot for five minutes and then remove the lid.
Press saute on Instant Pot
Add pectin to strawberries and habaneros
Stir pectin into strawberries until you have rolling boil–about 2 minutes
Add sugar, stirring to dissolve
Stir constantly until mixture reaches 223-degrees
Ladle jam into clean, dry glass jars leaving ½” headspace.
NEVER USE THE INSTANT POT FOR CANNING.
If you are wanting to store this outside the refrigerator/freezer please water bathe your jars!
Cool to room temperature and cover with lids and rings.
Refrigerate if using within 3 weeks, or freeze up to 1 year.
