This Coconut–Pineapple Chili Island Jam captures the essence of tropical flavors in one glossy, vibrant jar. Juicy pineapple brings bright sweetness, coconut milk adds a subtle creamy richness, and chili peppers deliver a gentle, warming heat that lingers just enough to keep every bite interesting.
Inspired by island-style sweet heat, this jam balances fruity freshness with savory depth. The pineapple breaks down as it simmers, creating a naturally thick texture, while the coconut milk softens the acidity and rounds out the flavor beautifully. A splash of vinegar and lime juice keeps the sweetness in check and adds brightness.
This is not just a breakfast jam—it is a versatile condiment that elevates both sweet and savory dishes. From cheese boards to grilled meats, it adds instant personality and a touch of tropical flair without overpowering the food it accompanies.
