Recipe: Red Pepper Jam

-Original Post: July 7, 2017-  

 

A condiment with kick that sticks!  For anyone who likes a little heat, this is the perfect accompaniment at your next bbq.  The heat from the red chilis and fresh ginger meld together for that spicy zing, complimented by the caramel flavour of coconut sugar.  This jam makes an excellent topping for burgers or steaks.  Try it with the Thai-Inspired Chicken Burgers featured on the blog. 

 

Red pepper jam can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a little spice in their life.  It's gluten free, low FODMAP, soy free, nut free, dairy free, egg free... Free to put on anything!  Other possibilities for this jam are: as an ingredient in meat marinades or wing sauces, as an ingredient in tomato-based sauces.  Mix with greek yogurt for a healthy nacho dip.  And It also works well on baked brie or as part of your cheese/charcuterie board!

1 tsp garlic infused olive oil

3/4 c coconut sugar

3/4 c raw apple cider vinegar
