The marriage of sweet and spicy flavors in a jam isn’t new, but the resurgence of interest in homemade preserves invites us to bring back the traditional art with a twist. The pineapple sweet chili jam I’m sharing with you today finds its origins in the exotic tastes of Southeast Asia, where chili sauces and fruit-based condiments are a staple. This jam couples the tropical brightness of pineapple with the bold kick of chili, creating a versatile condiment that transcends ordinary spreads. It’s perfect for those who aren’t afraid to layer their palette with a symphony of flavors and who revel in a homemade touch to their pantry staples.
This jam works wonders as a glaze for grilled chicken or pork. It can also elevate a simple cheese platter, pairing excellently with robust cheeses such as aged cheddar or gouda. Additionally, a dollop atop a crispy bruschetta with cream cheese can create a delightful appetizer, or simply spread it on a warm slice of artisanal bread for an indulgent snack.
