Chilli rocks...Hot Jam and Chipotle jam
5th Jun 2023
If you think "chilli rocks", why not try our Hot jam, or Chipotle jam... and if you need ideas on how to use them, here are 10 ideas for you:
1- Glaze for Grilled Meats: Use the smoked chipotle jam as a glaze for grilled chicken, pork chops, or steak. Brush it on during the last few minutes of grilling for a smoky and spicy flavour.
2- Sandwich Spread: Spread the smoked chipotle jam on sandwiches, burgers, or wraps to add a sweet and smoky kick. It pairs well with grilled vegetables, cheese, and deli meats.
3- Dip for Appetisers: Serve the smoked chipotle jam as a dip alongside crispy chicken tenders, breaded shrimp, or vegetable skewers. It adds a tangy and spicy element to your favourite appetisers.
4- Marinade for Seafood: Mix the smoked chipotle jam with lime juice, garlic, and soy sauce to create a flavourful marinade for shrimp, salmon, or white fish. Let the seafood marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling or baking.
5- Glaze for Roasted Vegetables: Toss roasted vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or carrots, in the smoked chipotle jam for a sweet and smoky glaze. Roast until caramelised for a delicious side dish.
6- Sauce for Tacos: Stir the smoked chipotle jam into sour cream or Greek yogurt to make a creamy and spicy sauce for tacos. Drizzle it over grilled chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables in your favourite tortillas.
7- Pizza Topping: Spread the smoked chipotle jam on pizza dough as a unique and flavourful base. Top with cheese, grilled chicken, red onions, and cilantro for a smoky chipotle chicken pizza.
8- Salad Dressing: Whisk together the smoked chipotle jam with olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create a zesty and smoky dressing for salads. It pairs well with greens, avocado, grilled chicken, and corn.
9- Glazed Roasted Nuts: Toss your favourite nuts, such as almonds or pecans, in a mixture of melted butter and smoked chipotle jam. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they are golden and caramelised. Allow them to cool before serving as a smoky and sweet snack.
10- BBQ Sauce Enhancer: Add a spoonful or two of smoked chipotle jam to your favourite store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce. Stir it in well to incorporate the flavours and use the enhanced sauce to brush onto grilled meats, burgers, or as a dip for chicken wings. The jam will provide a smoky and spicy kick to your BBQ dishes.
And this last one is always a crowd pleaser... Cheeseboard Accompaniment: Serve the smoked chipotle jam alongside a selection of cheeses, crackers, and cured meats on a cheeseboard. The sweet and spicy flavours complement the savoury elements for a delightful combination.
