Gelée de Marie Jeanne au piment d'Espelette

Short Description

Espelette Pepper Jelly This sublime, spicy jelly is a family inspiration from la Maison du Piment, French Basque makers of Piment d; Espelette DOP. It contains 28% freshly harvested, ripe Espelette peppers, which confer a spicy, fruity taste and aroma. It is only produced once a year, during the harvest. Producer Vincent Darritchon, working from a recipe his mother Jeanne-Marie created in 1998 in the kitchen of La Maison du Piment, shows wonderful restraint in his making. First, he gently heats a fresh red pepper coulis in a four-gallon copper bain-marie. He then uses this small-batch coulis to make a beautifully balanced jelly; the bit of lemon juice is a really nice touch.
