Star fruit and jalapeno jam

Got an interesting and tasty new jam recipe for ya! If you want a lot of flavor in a short amount of time, try my star fruit and jalapeno jam.

Star fruit

It lends a bit of sweetness from the star fruit along with a savory and slightly “heated” flavor from the jalapeno pepper. I picked up a star fruit from my local grocery store. I’ve found both small and large star fruit in shades of color ranging from green to yellow to orange. A green star fruit hasn’t yet ripened and will be tart in taste. Leave it on your kitchen counter to ripen  and watch it change color…to yellow and then to a yellowish-orange color. Now it’s sweet, juicy and tender. Wash it up real well, slice it cross-wise and consume, peel and all. It’s delicious on it’s own or added to salads or yogurt.

Star fruit jam

In this recipe, the whole star fruit gets chopped up and cooked down with just 4 other ingredients, leaving you with a sweet and savory jam that is delicious with cheese and crackers, cocktails, crepes, pancakes, toast…you name it!
