  Since the beginning of 2010 the LHC provides p+p collisions at the highest
center of mass energies to date, allowing to study high $\pT$ particle
production and jet properties in a new energy regime. For a clear
interpretation and the quantification of the medium influence in heavy-ion
collisions on high $\pT$ observables a detailed understanding of these
elementary reactions is essential. We present first results on the observation
of jet-like properties with the ALICE experiment and discuss the performance of
jet reconstruction in the first year of data taking.
