Equipment Checklist
Ingredients
Sweet Jalapeño Jam

- 1/4 C granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 C water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
Sweet Jalapeño Jam
chop + measure + boil
Carefully, cut 1/2 jalapeño in rough pieces. (Remove the seeds and white from the inside of the jalapeño to remove some spiciness.) Combine the chopped jalapeño, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
blend + cool
Remove all the contents of the saucepan and place them in your blender (or pitcher + immersion blender). Blend until smooth and bright green. Place the blender or pitcher in the refrigerator to cool until ready to serve. This jam is a perfect sweet and spicy spread for Crispy Corn Southern Hush Puppy Fritters (see recipe)!
