Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Chop the rhubarb and bell pepper into small pieces. Add them to the slow cooker with garlic and ginger.
- Combine flavors: Add sugars, apple cider vinegar, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down and the mixture becomes thick and jam-like.
- Adjust consistency: Use an immersion blender for a smoother texture, or leave it slightly chunky for a rustic jam.
- Cool and store: Transfer the jam to clean jars and allow it to cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
For a milder version, reduce the chili flakes or use a sweeter chili sauce. The flavors become even better after resting overnight in the refrigerator. Store in airtight jars for up to 2 weeks refrigerated.
