Bottle Description: None.
Ingredients:
Container: Nice little quaint…if you will, jam jar. There are little peppers around the borders of the label and makes this look like a salsa jar.
Appearance: Purple jam. You know what it looks like. BUT there are bits of peppers in the jam that look like the pepper flakes you put on your pizza.
Smell: SHABAZAM! Heavy pepper aroma and a hint of sweetness to compliment the pepper smell. I’ve written Red Lion to see if they can make this into a car freshener or deodorant. Your damn right it’s that good.
Consistency: Thicky thicky thick. It’s jam! Break out a butter knife.
Taste: *smacks lips* There are 3 layers of taste when sit comes to the jam. First the sweet. Good. Second you get prolonged taste of tartness. Thirdly there’s a hint of pepper flavor but it’s something you have to think about in order to taste it. Then it ends with a nice warm tongue blanket of heat. Notice: yes it’s a jam but there is NO fruit flavor at all. Check the ingredients, and come back here. See? No fruit.
Heat: 6/10 (Not very hot with food.)
Field Test:
Final Word: It’s pretty good. I know refer to it as djamn. Which is a hybrid of damn+jam= Djamn. Damn jam cause it’s got a nice bite to it. Its application to food can vary because this is not the jam you’re used to. I also feel that it is a bit of a novelty food for those that don’t instantly love the taste. I doubt it would occupy a permanent place in anyone’s fridge but its spicy jam! It’s fun! I wish there was some fruit in this jam to make it a bit sweeter so it can go together with food better. I think it would be great to have strawberry or blueberry jam that can kick your ass.
Overall: 7.4/10 It’s good but it’s not practical on a lot of food. You’re more likely going to go with a regular jam.

So after trying it, I immediatly purchased 5 Jars to disperse to family and freinds. It is just different and pleasant. The order took its sweet time to get to my house, but maybe it was the holidays? And the packaging level was poor, ( and you can count on that review as I ship merchandise for a living).
So far ive had this on
Toast w/ Butter : Good
CheeseCake: Gross (made me squirm)
Grilled cheese with avocado: Good
Really worth a try. Id also like to see fruit in it, I should have ordered a cranberry version.
cranberry?!?
Im alllll of that.
Has anyone tried jalapeno jelly??? I cant remember brand but I keep wanting to try it.
Easiest Appetizer Ever:
- Unwrap one package of cream cheese, put on plate.
- Dump jalapeno or other pepper jelly on top until covered.
- Serve with Wheat Thins or other small crackers.
Excellent!
