Cover and simmer an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, mash slightly with a fork once jam is done. *Note: Make sure you use a spicy jalapeno. Some jalapenos taste like bell pepper and won't give this jam the kick you're looking for. - See more at: http://www.tasty-trials.com/2011/09/times-they-are-changin.html#sthash.esWdsPEa.dpuf
