The whole house was smelling divine from these coconut delights - who could resist that ? I am sharing this simple, yet delicious recipe, I found at the back of Baker's sweetened coconut flakes pack, with my friends over at CCChallenge.

Hot & Sweet Jalapeno Jam

How to make Hot & Sweet Jalapeno Jam

           Jalapeno jellies and jams are typically made with too much sugar and/or added bell peppers, which cuts down on the heat of these fiery Mexican peppers. So, I came up with this version of Jalapeno jam to satisfy my taste buds; which gets a kick from the heat of this peppery Jalapeno jam. You only need a few minutes to make this jam and it goes with a lot of your favorite foods. You could use it on plain toast, sandwiches or serve as a snack along with crackers & cheese. Go ahead and whip this up; your taste buds might just sing you, a Gracias song :)

Ingredients for 10 oz of Jam

5 large Jalapenos 

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

1/8 tsp Salt

1 Tbsp powder Pectin (ex: Ball)

1 to 2 drops of green food color (Optional)
