What Does Carolina Reaper Jam Taste Like?
When people hear Carolina Reaper Jam, they often imagine something unbearably hot. The truth is much more interesting.
At The Spite Kitchen, we believe chilli should enhance flavour, not overpower it. Our Carolina Reaper jams are carefully balanced to combine the natural sweetness of fruit with the unmistakable warmth of one of the world's hottest chillies.
Sweet First, Heat Second
The first flavour you'll notice is the fruit.
Whether it's our sweet strawberries or rich blueberries, the fruit takes centre stage before the Carolina Reaper gradually builds in the background. Instead of an instant blast of heat, the warmth develops slowly, allowing you to enjoy both the fruit and the chilli together.
More Than Just Heat
A Carolina Reaper isn't simply hot. It also has a surprisingly fruity flavour that works incredibly well with quality preserves when used in the right quantity.
The result is a jam that's rich, fruity and gently warming, rather than one that's simply made to be as hot as possible.
