Stir in the chopped chili (if using) and the vanilla extract. Let it simmer for another 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Step 4: Cool and Jar It Up
Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool. Transfer into sterilized glass jars and refrigerate. It’ll keep for up to two weeks—but trust us, it won’t last that long!
🍽️ How to Use It (Besides Eating Straight from the Jar):
- Spread it on toast, pancakes, or waffles
- Use as a glaze for grilled chicken or pork
- Swirl it into yogurt or oatmeal
- Pair with cheese and crackers for an epic snack
- Or just… hand him a spoon and step back 😄

Whether you’re making this for a special someone or treating yourself, be prepared—it’s dangerously good. So good, in fact, that one jar is never enough. Keep extras on hand, because once people get a taste, they’ll be asking: “Do you have more?”
And if your guy’s anything like mine, don’t be surprised if he polishes off a whole jar in one sitting. Honestly? You might want to double the batch. 😉
