Product Review: Trader Joe's Hot and Sweet Chili Jam! Whoaaa, Baby, it's hot!

​As I have stated before, I have always been able to eat anything. My favorite foods are hot and spicy. So when I found this product at Trader Joe's I couldn't resist giving it a try. Let me tell you, this stuff is exactly what the label claims - HOT and SWEET.
I tried it on toast, on a biscuit, and then a spoonful all by itself. I do not recommend a spoonful all by itself.
 
This stuff is really hot, I think it has to do with the pepper seeds in the jam. The sweet flavor is good, but it is over powered by the hot flavor. It is far better on a biscuit than on bread or alone.  Trader Joe suggests eating with brie or cream cheese. I tried it with cream cheese on a wheat cracker. The cheese helped tone it down a bit, but it was still really hot and spicy.

Here are the details:
⦁    Ingredients are: cane sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, dried garlic, crushed red pepper, pectin, and salt.
⦁    Made for Trader Joe's by  a small, family-owned company and sold exclusively at Trader Joe's
⦁    Trader Joe's sells a 13 oz jar for $2.99
⦁    A serving of 2 Tbsp has 100 calories with 5 fat calories


This is really good jam regardless of the heat of the peppers. However, unless you like really, really hot and spicy foods, you should steer clear of this one. Also, if your stomach is sensitive to hot and spicy foods, then this is not for you. I want to stress that this stuff is hot and spicy.

I like hot and spicy, so I will enjoy it again in the future, but it is not something I will eat everyday. With the first bite, I said to myself - Whoa, I can't eat this, it's way too hot...but then it grew on me and I started wanting it. (Just keep a glass of milk handy to cool down your mouth....😊).

Can you eat hot and spicy foods? Have you found as you get older, your stomach tolerates less and less spicy and hot foods? Have you ever eaten anything so hot and so spicy your mouth literally burned? 

XOXO

Please tell me who the company is who made and supplied Trader Joe’s with hot and sweet chili jam. It has been discontinued at Trader Joe’s.

You are correct, Trader Joe's discontinued this product. I called them to get the name of their supplier but they don't have that information any longer. However, I did find a source for the Hot and Sweet Chili Jam. You can purchase it on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2HmADUv or directly from Stonewall Kitchen at https://bit.ly/2H7o9Ct . This is the same product just under another brand. I hope this helps. I was bummed out that Trader Joe's discontinued this product. I loved it! Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
