We make our Red Pepper Jam in small batches in our Organic Farm Kitchen, using peppers grown organically just a few miles away at the Clif Family Farm. Small batches mean bigger flavor — sweet, a little spicy, and completely delicious.
Chef Magnus likes to pair a glass of Clif Family Viognier with this recipe. The wine’s juicy stone-fruit flavors play nicely with the peppery sweetness, and its freshness keeps things from getting too rich. It’s the pairing that keeps you coming back for “just one more bite.”
Recipe from the Clif Family Kitchen
Ingredients
6 oz Cowgirl Creamery Wagon Wheel Cheese, grated
½ cup Duke’s Mayonnaise
4 Tbsp Clif Family Organic Red Pepper Jam
½ tsp hot sauce
1 tsp white distilled vinegar
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne
4 Tbsp chives, finely sliced
Salt to taste
Combine ingredients and adjust salt to taste. Store in airtight container and serve with crackers, fresh vegetables or as a spread on a sandwich.
Pairing Suggestion: We recommend enjoying the dip with our 2024 Viognier. This bright and aromatic white wine is great for a dish with a little bit of heat.
