Raspberry Chipotle Jam

Oh, raspberry chipotle jam is such a delightful blend of sweet, smoky, and just a hint of spice—perfect for those who love to bring a little adventure to their palate. It’s made with raspberries, which are like little jewels of nutrition. They’re full of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C—great for immune support and skin health. Plus, they’re low in sugar, making them a wonderfully guilt-free indulgence.

Then, we add chipotle peppers. They bring that deep, smoky flavor, but beyond that, chipotles are a fantastic source of capsaicin, a compound known to boost metabolism and support heart health. They add a gentle warmth, without overpowering the natural sweetness of the berries.

To sweeten this jam, we use dates and coconut sugar, two ingredients that add complexity and depth without spiking your blood sugar like refined sugars do. Dates are high in fiber and loaded with potassium, which is essential for muscle function and maintaining healthy blood pressure. Coconut sugar, on the other hand, has a lower glycemic index than traditional sugar and is packed with minerals like zinc and iron. It’s a sweetener that supports, rather than detracts from, your health.

So, with every spoonful of this raspberry chipotle jam, you’re getting a delicious, nutrient-rich treat that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds. It’s perfect paired with cheeses, spread on toast, or even used as a glaze for roasted vegetables or meats—just an incredibly versatile addition to any kitchen.
