Red pepper jam is a type of sweet preserve that is made from red peppers. In its preparation, the peppers are cleaned and cut into pieces, and then cooked with sugar and often with some type of acidulant such as vinegar or lemon, which helps preserve the mixture and balance the sweetness.
This jam is characterized by its vibrant color and its flavor that combines the sweetness of sugar with the distinctive and slightly bitter flavor of red peppers. It is commonly used as an accompaniment to meat dishes, especially chicken and pork, or as a topping on hamburgers and sandwiches. In addition, it can serve as an exquisite complement to cheese boards, providing a contrast of flavor and color.
