Two Sisters Tiki Torch: Holy Peppers, is This Jam Delicious?!?!

April 14, 2016 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Two Sisters Tiki Torch Jam

Two Sisters Amazing Tiki Torch Jam

If you read the Genuine Kentucky blog regularly, you know how obsessed we are with shopping local, supporting fellow Kentuckians, and with buying Kentucky Proud products.

Obsessed.

I try (well, I sorta kinda sometimes try) not to get on a soap box too often, but I encourage you to buy Kentucky Proud food and other Kentucky made products as often as possible. Whether it’s online, in wonderful stores like the Hitching Post (Aurora), or in Kentucky State Park gift shops – keeping your money in the state is just the cool thing to do.

I recently received some AMAZING jams from one of my favorite Kentucky Proud businesses – Two Sisters Jams, Jellies, and Preserves out of Louisville. These ladies make the best jams, jellies, and preserves you’ll find anywhere.

I wrote a review of their incredible Cherry Bomb Jam a while back – looking at the pictures makes me drool. It is, to this day, one of my favorite things in the world. I actually found the Cherry Bomb Jam at the Fudge Factory in Grand Rivers. You never know where they’ll turn up!

Two Sister’s blends are highly creative and imaginative, their ingredients are natural and wholesome, and everything they touch is otherworldly delicious.

Let Midas have his “golden touch,” I’m much more interested in this kind of touch.

When I received the jams, I took a group picture (below). I figured I’d write up a post about the jams as a team.

…. and then I tasted them…

It was obvious that, while they do make an incredible team, each individual is an MVJ (most valuable jam) and is worthy of its own post. I chose to start with a beauty that fascinates me: Tiki Torch.

Two Sisters Tiki Torch Pineapple Habanero Jam

Here’s something you should know about me – I’m a “Sissy Pants” when it comes to a lot of things – snakes, heights, deep water, small enclosures… and spicy food. Normally, when I bite into something hot, my eyes bulge out, I start panting and blowing, and I reach for the nearest glass of iced tea, whether it’s mine or not. I’m a sight, make no mistake about it.

Because of this stellar reputation, I wasn’t sure how Tiki Torch and I would get along. I saw the word Habanero  on the label and got a little worried. Yet… somehow… we got along famously – as in I could not stay out of it. The heat is there, but the sweetness from the fruit balances it out in such a way that it doesn’t hurt your tongue or even offend it in the slightest.

Heat without the hurt. Fascinating!

The flavor is something unlike anything I’ve had in any national, store-bought jam. It blows them out of the water, if we’re being honest. It’s utterly delicious – and so darn pretty, too.

Two Sisters Tiki Torch Jam – Gorgeous!

I love Tiki Torch on biscuits, cornbread, and bagels (all gluten free, of course). It’s also a total knock-out when you simply top a block of cream cheese with it and enjoy it with crackers.

The combination of the peppers and pineapple is something that will blow your mind – I promise.

Tiki Torch Ingredients: Beautiful Combination

Tiki Torch is even great with chicken! I made some grilled chicken strips not long ago and I wasn’t satisfied with having Tiki Torch JUST on my biscuit. I figured, why should the bread have all the fun? So I started  dipping my chicken in the jam and wow,  it was crazy good.

I think this jam would be a ridiculously delicious glaze for ham, actually.  I’m not sure there’s anything it wouldn’t be great on.

You can find all of Two Sisters Jams, Jellies, and Preserves wonderful Kentucky Proud products on their website: Two Sisters Jams.

Their online store is filled with delicacies you’ll want to enjoy – just be sure, whatever you do, you include Tiki Torch in your order. It’s phenomenal.
