Daniel Leahy –
This is a wonderful hot sweet and tasty product that I was not aware of until I was told it was discontinued. I am very shocked that it was dropped and I think it was not given a chance. I hope that the company changes their mind. Did you ever try it with peanut butter (especially crunchy) it is shockingly good. I would hate to go to someone else to get that flavor! You are the best store even though I am going to have to live with out my HOT& SWEET CHILI JAM! A 10 out of10.

I LOVE the hot and sweet chili jam. I’ve gone through 4 jars already. I am so sad that it has been discontinued. If I had known, I would have bought the store out. How am I supposed to make goat cheese with hot and sweet chili jam spread over the top without Trader Joe’s hot and sweet chili jam???? It’s ALWAYS a hit at parties. Please change your mind and BRING BACK HOT AND SWEET CHILI JAM.

I love this stuff! Flood TJ with requests to return this at least seasonally so it is not lost forever! Contact them via email, sometimes they will reconsider if enough people contact them.

This was one of my favorite products at TJ’s. My TJ’s couldn’t keep it on the shelf. Now you have discontinued it. You need to can some of your marketing staff. They are worthless.

I am trying to make it, and its not the same! Please please bring it back. How about Chinese New Year? Post how it makes the best General Tsao Chicken IN THE WORLD! Yall are still selling that in the frozen section, and it’s a pale shadow to the chili jam version!

I agree with Robert Terry and Paula, and post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches aren’t the same with out TJ Jalapeno Cranberry Sauce.

I will also agree with everyone………… I heard you discontinued this product due to price. I serve it at EVERY PARTY and it’s a hit. Who cares if it cost a little more. Let us buy it on line and then you won’t have to stock it.

The best! Just when I turned my friends on to this wonderful jam, you discontinued it. Please bring it back! I will have to resort to another (inferior) similar product, not sold by Trader Joe’s.

I was soooooo bummed today when I went to Trader Joe’s to find out the hot and sweet chili ham was discontinued!
I usually by six jars at a time, so I haven’t looked for it in a while. Down to the bottom of my last jar and will savor every last bite of it! It was the perfect blen of sweet and spicy. One of my favorites!
Please, please bring it back!!!!
Another suggestion…
Please give some notice when an item is going to be discontinued so we can stock up !!

WHY would you D/C hot & sweet chili jam?! –
I miss this stuff terribly… it was always a hit on my charcuterie board, paired so well with cheeses or cream cheese. Now I see people used it on Brussel sprouts and I never even had a chance to try that! Please bring it back! I’ll pay twice the price (already was on Amazon, and now they’re out too)!

Can’t believe it was discontinued. I am glad I bought many jars for back up, but after giving as gifts and taking to parties and serving at home dinner parties, I found out my stock had dried up. What a sad life to look forward to without this wonderfully delicious Chili Jam.

My life has been drab since you stopped carrying Hot & Sweet Chili Jam. It is amazingly good with so many foods in so many ways. I can’t imagine having to live the rest of my life without ever having a jar available in my cupboard. I have searched and searched for a comparable recipe to no avail. You MUST put this back on your shelves immediately or I will have to continue pestering you!

Visited our local store twice in two months and found the chili jam wasn’t available on the first visit . I assumed it was out of stock or unavailable at the time . Not until my second visit did I begin questioning where it could be hiding on the shelves . This has brought me to the current review page only to find it has been discontinued . I hope this is eventually brought back , somehow !

Trader Joe’s I’m so disappointed in you. Everyone I’ve showed this to has loved it and you just decided it wasn’t worth your time. So upset with you especially since everyone misses it enough to actually post a review asking for it back and you’re not listening. That’s terrible customer service in my opinion

We found this or similar at ALDI a sister company of Trader Joe’s. Same look, awesome taste. But now I can’t find it. Bummer

Hi, I just discovered this hot & sweet chili jam in April of 2018 from a lady I work for. This was one of the leftovers in the refrigerator after cleaning it. I used this jam in some of my recipes and on sandwiches and now I’m completely out of it.
I’ve searched all the stores and it’s not on the shelf. Now I’m contacting the company and you guys have discontinued this product? You got to be kidding me, would someone please put this back on the shelf. This is a wonderful ENHANCER and it sets the stage for any occasion.

I love this jam!!!! It’s great with cream cheese or hummus, but also as a glaze for root vegetables, or in spicy asian sauces… its got that nice texture from the red pepper that elevates it beyond pepper jelly.I have not been able to find a good replacement. PLEASE bring it back Trader Joes!!

I make a beautiful hot-sweet dressing for a Goat Cheese and Beet Salad that is so incredibly complimentary. I am sooooo bummed that you no longer carry it. I still have 1/3 of a jar, but it’s not enough!! I’m going to try and make some, but, honestly, it would be absolutely great if you started making it again.
