What Is a Fire-Kissed Strawberry Spread?
A fire-kissed spread is similar to a jam or pepper jelly, but:
-
Uses fresh fruit instead of juice
-
Keeps a soft, spreadable texture
-
Balances sweetness with fresh chile heat
Unlike overly sugary jams, this version lets the strawberry flavor shine while the chile gently enhances—not overpowers—the fruit.
