A delightful and versatile spicy red pepper jam, perfect for enhancing your dishes.
Cut the red peppers into halves and remove the seeds.
Use a sharp knife to make the process easier and ensure even cuts.
Grind the peppers coarsely using a food processor.
Pulse the processor to avoid over-grinding and maintain a chunky texture.
Place the ground peppers in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit overnight in a cool place.
This step helps draw out excess moisture from the peppers, enhancing the jam's texture.
Drain half of the liquid from the bowl.
Save the drained liquid to adjust the jam's consistency later if needed.
Combine the ground peppers, remaining liquid, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan.
Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Keep an eye on the jam to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Pour the thickened jam into sterilized jars and seal them. Allow to cool before storing.
Leave a small gap at the top of each jar to allow for expansion.
