How to Make Apricot Pepper Marmalade

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 red bell pepper (finely chopped) and 1/2 cup of yellow onion (finely chopped). Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables soften but do not brown.
  3. Add 2 cups of apricot preserves, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 jalapeño pepper (finely minced, seeds removed for less heat), 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and let the marmalade cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavor will deepen over time.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
