Spicy Strawberry Chilli Jam

Spicy-sweet strawberry jam, with spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. This jam is the perfect accompaniment to a cheese plate or cheese toast. But I suggest going a little further and serving this jam sauce along with brie baked in bread.

In addition to cheeses, spicy strawberry jam would be appropriate in combinations with poultry and meat. Or as a sauce for burgers and sandwiches.

⏱  Cooking time —30 minutes overall. Includes 10 minutes of preparation and cooking + 20 minutes unattended.

 🔪Step by step Directions

Crush 2 boxes of cardamom with the flat side of a knife.

Take a tea bag, open it and pour out the contents. Fold inside the crushed cardamom, 2-3 clove buds and a star anise. Tie with string or staple it.
