Black pepper jam

This is a very spicy and tart sauce to use with grilled meat: steak, or pork loin etc.

  • 3 cups strawberries, cut in small chunks
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp pectin crystals

Preparation

  1. Cook all this for some 15 minutes, or more; until it thickens a bit.
  2. Pass in a blender for some 5-8 seconds
  3. Put in small jars

Notes

  • First tasted in the Fable restaurant in Vancouver. Reversed-engineered on Mayne island a couple of week later.
  • Tried also with peaches instead of strawberries.
