Description
Raspberry Jalapeño Sauce is a vibrant, sweet-and-spicy blend perfect for drizzling over cream cheese, glazing meats, or adding flair to charcuterie boards. With juicy raspberries and zesty jalapeños, it’s an irresistible condiment with a fiery twist.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves
- 1 package, 10 ounce frozen raspberries, thawed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes until soft. Add the jalapeños and continue cooking for an additional minute. Add the balsamic vinegar, sugar and orange zest. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add the raspberry preserves and thawed raspberries. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Purée the sauce using a hand-held blender, regular blender or food processor. If desired, pass through a sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. Transfer to a serving dish.
Notes
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smooth, seedless finish.
- Add more jalapeños for heat, or lime juice for extra zing.
- Can be canned or stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Pairs beautifully with pork, chicken, or baked brie.
