Roasted Chile Jam
Roasted Chile Jam: A sweet cooked preparation with more body than a syrup. Fruit, sugar and reduction provide texture; this menu description is not a tested preserving formula.
Context
Identify the pepper and its heat level; sweet ají and hot chile are not interchangeable. Avoid inhaling ground hot pepper and offer guests a clear indication of heat.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a small sweet condiment with cheese, keeping it refrigerated. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
