  STRAWBERRY SPICE JAM RECIPE

  1 cup water

  3 habanero peppers

  1 1.75-oz package powdered pectin

  1 teaspoon lemon juice

  1 750-ml bottle of strawberry wine

  5 1/2 cups sugar

  Add 1 cup of water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cut the tops of the habanero peppers, leaving them whole, and add them to the boiling water. Stir in the powdered pectin and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add the wine and return to a boil. Slowly add the sugar one cup at a time while stirring (stainless-steel spoon works best). Bring to a boil for one minute. If you lift your spoon up and let the liquid drip, you should see it thicken as it drips. Remove the habaneros, along with any seeds, from the jelly. Remove any foam from the surface and add to the jars.

  This recipe makes seven to eight 8-ounce jars of jelly.

  ~Many Thanks~

  One of my greatest joys is writing about Cape Cod, and when I told my street team that the Seaside Summers series might end after Matt Lacroux’s book, I had to run into a closet and hide from the backlash. So, my dear readers, I have decided to continue the series! There’s nothing more exciting for me than hearing from my fans and knowing you love my stories as much as I enjoy writing them. Please keep your emails and your posts on social media coming. If you haven’t joined my street team, please do! We have loads of fun, chat about books, and members get special sneak peeks of upcoming publications.

  A special thank-you goes to Nina Lane, Elise Sax, and Kathie Shoop for our brainstorming sessions.

  My work shines because my editorial team is incredibly talented. Thank you, Kristen, Penina, Jenna, Juliette, Marlene, and Lynn, for all you do for me and for our readers.

  And to Les, my own hunky hero and the best research partner around. Here’s to forever, baby.
