Homemade jam flavour with a hint of jalapeno.
When I first saw this in my kitchen I figured it’ll be another unopened jar that sits in my cupboard. The same cupboard you go to and grab a couple jars when you get invited to that last minute Christmas party as a ‘thanks for having us’ (even though you know they’ll re-gift it).
Well to my surprise I saw it open in the fridge a couple days later. Ignoring my initial ‘odd combination’ reaction I figured I’ll give it a try. I toasted cinnamon raisin bread, spread some of the jam on and packed it for my commute. It took a few bites to get used to the contrast in flavours but to my surprise it works. The jalapeno wasn’t nearly as evident as I thought it would be. The sweet raspberry flavour could have minimized the jalapeno heat or the jalapeno could have been added for its flavour and not spice. Either way it was a pleasant surprise and it tasted great.
Unfortunately, before I was able to get a picture of the jar it fell from the fridge and broke during our Thanksgiving frenzy. Here’s a picture of the other jams I’ve purchased from Mrs. V’s Preserves. I’m looking forward to trying the Pear Ginger jam, keep your eyes peeled for a post.
so bomb with fried cheese!
wow!
that does sound good.
What kind of cheese do you use?
