Measurements of strangeness production in jets help illuminate the QCD mechanisms in fragmentation. Furthermore, they provide a crucial baseline for heavy-ion studies where modifications in jet chemistry have recently been predicted. We present new results on strange particle production in jets from p+p \sqrt{s} = 200 GeV collisions measured by the STAR experiment. The momentum distributions of the \Lambda, \bar{\Lambda} and K0Short particles are obtained using various jet finding algorithms, and then compared to various models. Strange particle ratios in jets are obtained and compared to values obtained from the inclusive spectra. Finally, we show jets tagged with leading strange baryons and mesons, in order to investigate whether gluon or quark jets can be isolated in this way.
