Peach Mango Pepper Fusion is a bright, tropical sweet–heat spread that brings sunshine to every dish it touches. Juicy peaches and ripe mangoes form a lush, fruity base, while fresh peppers add a lively spark of heat that lingers beautifully without overwhelming the natural sweetness. The result is a vibrant, golden-orange preserve that’s as versatile as it is flavorful—perfect on grilled chicken, seafood, cheese boards, biscuits, or even breakfast toast.
As the fruit simmers with sugar, lemon, and a touch of water, it breaks down into a fragrant mixture that becomes richer and more concentrated. The peppers infuse their heat as they soften, creating a balanced blend that’s warm, sweet, and gently spicy. A bit of lemon zest brightens the flavors, while optional honey adds shine and smoothness. Whether you prefer a chunky spread or a silky finish, this fusion-style preserve offers endless possibilities.
