Description

Spice Zen’s Vegan Chilli Jam celebrates the vibrant Southeast Asian harmony of sweet, spicy, salty and sour, reimagined as a refined, multi-cuisine condiment for the modern kitchen.

Made from certified organic onion, garlic, red chilli, tamarind and coconut sugar, the mixture is slowly cooked until thick, glossy and deeply aromatic. As it reduces, natural sweetness concentrates and the chilli warmth rounds out. Star anise and cinnamon add quiet depth beneath the surface, giving the jam its signature complexity and silky finish.

Chilli jam holds an essential place in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking, where it brings brightness, body and layered heat to dishes. This version extends that heritage into everyday versatility. It works beautifully as a glaze, marinade, dipping sauce, stir-fry base or finishing spoonful. Loosened with lime juice, water or oil, it becomes a pourable dressing or basting glaze. Folded into creamy bases, it transforms into vibrant dips and sandwich spreads. Even a small amount adds sweet heat and aromatic lift to plant-based dishes, seafood, poultry or grilled vegetables.

Gluten free, vegan and crafted without seafood or shellfish, this chilli jam is designed for expressive, flavour-driven cooking across cuisines.
