Tropical flavors combined with the delicious heat of habanero chilies have always been a favorite of mine. After some trial and error, I developed this recipe for sweet and flavorful mango habanero jam with a soft but noticeable final heat. Store in a cool, enclosed space.

- 3 cups white sugar
- ½ cup toasted walnuts
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 7×3-inch loaf pans with 2 teaspoons butter.
- Mix flour, sugar, walnuts, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl. Cube 2 tablespoons butter into the bowl.

Reviews
This is moist, spongey, and cake-like. The spices are fantastic. I reduced the sugar, adding more banana and subbed maple syrup for the honey. I will add extra walnuts next time. I made one loaf gluten free; both were fabulous.
