Crackelet Mermelada

Crackelet Mermelada – Chilean Onion and Red Pepper Jam

Crackelet Mermelada is Costa's savory jam, sold under its Crackelet cracker brand in a 110 g pouch. Two flavors: Onion, the mermelada de cebolla, and Red Pepper, the mermelada de pimentón.

Both are sweet the way a jam is sweet, with the savory depth of the cooked vegetable behind it, and both carry soft pieces through them rather than a smooth puree. The label puts the vegetable at 35% of the Onion and 40% of the Red Pepper, counting the diced pieces and the pulp together.

The pouch makes its own suggestion: spread it on a Crackelet cracker with a little cream cheese. It works just as well over a wheel of cheese, on a sandwich, a burger or roast meat. The label calls it ideal para compartir, ideal for sharing.
