Habanero Jam image

Looks like a perfectly innocent bowl of apricot preserves, burns like a bright and fruity pepper jelly.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces habanero chiles, halved, seeds removed
2 cups tequila blanco or vodka
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
6 tablespoons raw or demerara sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop chiles in a food processor. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in tequila. Let sit uncovered 1-3 hours (chiles will get less spicy as they soak; in 1 hour, they'll sink to the heat level of a jalapeño). Drain chiles; reserve tequila for another use.
  • Transfer chiles to a small saucepan; add onion, vinegar, orange juice, raw sugar, salt, and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook until chiles are tender and liquid is syrupy, 50-60 minutes. Let cool.
  • Do Ahead
  • Jam can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this jam is actually really good. The habaneros add just the right amount of heat.

This jam is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I've been using it on toast and crackers, and it's also great in grilled cheese sandwiches.

I made this jam last night and it turned out great! The habaneros give it a nice kick, but it's not too spicy. I've been using it on toast and crackers, and it's also great in grilled cheese sandwiches.
