Happy Happy Monday y'all!
Well, it's time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal. Seriously, this is the highlight of my month. This month my secret food blogger was the couple from Eliot's Eats. Now, since starting their blog, the couple have chosen to remain anonymous....oooo love it! It just leaves more to the imagination. They named the blog Eliot's Eats, after the wife's fave poet, T.S. Eliot. Then, a stray cat showed up on their doorstep, and what do ya know? They named him Eliot, after which they found out that it was actually a girl cat. Haha! Anyway, I just loved their blog, where the couple posts about their many travels, love of fresh, local ingredients, trips to the farmer's market, and of course, their love of food.
The first recipe that really caught my eye was one for raspberry jam, and being that raspberries are my fave fruit, oh, and the fact that it is summer and canning season, I took it as a sign.
Best. Idea. Ever.
This raspberry jam is super simple to make, and might I add...delicious.
The raspberries are seasoned with fresh ginger, and slightly sweet from the combination of their own juices and the addition of honey.
I put a dollop of the jam on my waffle for a mid-morning snack!
Out of
this world!
Normally, I would make adaptations to the recipe to give it my own spin, but this just looked irresistible! All I did was cut the recipe in half for one. Thanks to Eliot's Eats for the recipe and be sure to check out their blog!

The jam gets a kick of heat from red pepper flakes...what the what? I know, it's genius!
Just look at that color!

Raspberry Jam with Ginger and Chili:
Ingredients:
2 c. frozen raspberries
1/4 c. honey (all I had was agave nectar on hand)
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1/2 t. red pepper flakes
2 T. freshly grated ginger
Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Simmer until very thick, mashing with a potato masher and then stirring, about 10 minutes total.
4. Transfer to sterilized jars; cover and chill at least 4 hours. Store for two weeks in the refrigerator, or put in freezer containers and freeze for freezer jam.
Makes 1 half-pint jar of jam.
MANGIA!!!

ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to put red pepper flakes in raspberry jam--it sounds like this combination really worked!
ReplyDeleteJam seems to be the thing! This looks heavenly and I am intrigued by the pepper flakes. I must give this a try. Great SRC choice.
