Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut cream Adds a rich, creamy body, naturally sweetening the jam.
- 1 cup Granulated sugar Balances the flavors with necessary sweetness.
- 1/2 cup Sweet chili sauce Provides a delightful kick with every spoonful.
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice Enhances flavor brightness, cutting through richness.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Deepens the flavor profile with warmth.
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt Amplifies sweetness and rounds out flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and tools. You’ll need a medium saucepan, a whisk, and a jar for storage.
- Measure out the coconut cream and set aside to soften if it’s cold from the fridge.
- In the saucepan, combine granulated sugar and sweet chili sauce, whisking until well blended.
Cooking
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to simmer and the sugar fully dissolves, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the coconut cream, whisking until smooth.
- Add lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine, allowing the jam to thicken for about 5-7 minutes, while still stirring.
Serving
- Once the jam reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes.
- Transfer into a clean jar and seal tightly. Allow it to cool completely before storing in the fridge.
- Enjoy your Beachside Sweet Chili Coconut Jam as a topping, dip, or spread!
Notes
For a thicker jam, allow it to simmer a few extra minutes. Store in a clean, airtight container to keep the jam fresh longer. Can be frozen for up to three months.
