Strawberry Margarita Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups strawberries (crushed)
    1/4 cup lime juice
    2/3 cup tequila
    1/4 cup orange liqueur
    6 cups sugar
    1 (3 ounce) package liquid pectin
Preparation
    NOTE: Do NOT use a food processor to crush strawberries or you will get puree and jam will not have a good texture. Use a potato masher.

    Stir in sugar, bring to a boil over high heat.
    Stirring constantly.
    Boil hard for 1 minute.
    Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin.
    Skim off foam.
    Stir for 5 minutes (this will prevent floating fruit).
    Ladle into sterilized jars to within 1/4 inch from rim. Wipe rims clean. Apply lids and rings. Tighten to fingertip tight.
    Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
