Ingredients

• 4 large red bell peppers
• 2 medium fuji apples
• 1 medium onion
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the red bell peppers and removing the stems and seeds. Dice them into small pieces.

Step 2

Peel the Fuji apples and remove the core. Chop them into small chunks.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 4

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced red peppers, chopped apples, onion, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and water.

Step 5

Stir the mixture until it's well combined and bring it to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

As the mixture cooks, the fruits and vegetables will break down and thicken. If needed, add a little more water to reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Once the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Remove the jam from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the red pepper jam to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.

Step 11

Let the jam cool completely before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.

Step 12

Store the Whole30 red pepper jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
