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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
