Ingredients
- 5 oz. mixed hot peppers
- 6 oz. sweet bell peppers (about 3)
- 4 oz. chopped onion (about 1/2 a small onion)
- .5 oz. smashed garlic (about 2 cloves)
- 3/4 cup white distilled vinegar (5%)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp smoked sweet paprika
Instructions
- Trim the stems off of the hot peppers (use gloved hands) and remove some of the seeds, if desired,to reduce the heat. Place the peppers in a food processor.
- Remove the stem from the bell peppers, roughly chop and place in the food processor. Add the onion and garlic.
- Cover and pulse for 10 to 15 second intervals, until all ingredients are finely chopped.
- Transfer to a large soup pot, pour in the vinegar and stir in the sugar. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a rolling boil. Boil, stirring occasionally for 15 to 20 minutes, until the jam has thickened.
- To test, place a small plate in the freezer for about 1 minute. Place a dollop of the jam on the plate and place back in the freezer for about 30 seconds. If the jam has thickened to a spreadable consistency, it is ready.
- Stir in the smoked paprika. Transfer the hot jam to sterilized jars. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes, cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. The jam will thicken and become sticky when cold. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
- Makes 1 1/2 cups.
