Simple, Quality Ingredients

Made with jalapeños, fire-roasted red peppers, apricots, apple juice, vinegar, and pectin - that's it! No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The beautiful golden color comes entirely from the natural apricots, and the flavor is authentic sweet-heat perfection with a fruity twist.
