Made with fresh apples and sweet chili sauce, this jam is perfect for spreading, glazing,
or serving with cheese. The slow cooker does all the work, allowing the flavors to develop

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups sweet chili sauce
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the slow cooker or line it with a slow-cooker liner.
  2. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and stir well to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once apples are very soft, blend with an immersion blender until smooth or leave chunky.

  6. Turn off the slow cooker and allow the jam to cool slightly.
  7. Transfer to clean jars and let cool completely before storing.

Description

This Slow Cooker Apple Sweet Chili Jam has a glossy, rich texture and a bold flavor that
balances apple sweetness with chili heat. The vinegar adds brightness, making it a
versatile condiment for both sweet and savory dishes.

Tips

  • Cook uncovered longer if a thicker jam is desired.
  • Taste near the end and adjust sweetness or spice as needed.

Correction
