Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 2 medium fuji apples
- 1 medium onion
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Start by washing the red bell peppers and removing the stems and seeds. Dice them into small pieces.
Peel the Fuji apples and remove the core. Chop them into small chunks.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced red peppers, chopped apples, onion, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and water.
Stir the mixture until it's well combined and bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
As the mixture cooks, the fruits and vegetables will break down and thicken. If needed, add a little more water to reach the desired consistency.
Once the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the jam from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the red pepper jam to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
Let the jam cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Store the Whole30 red pepper jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
