How to make red pepper jam,

Place all the peppers including the seeds if you want it really hot into a food processor. Puree for 15-20 seconds. You want to puree until the peppers are a small diced size, don’t puree to mush. Add the peppers to a pot with water and sugar. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes and then cool to room temperature.

How to make dressing and finish the crudo,

Place all three ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and mix well. Slice snapper on an angle and place on the plate. Season the fish lightly with salt. Dress the snapper with the white balsamic dressing. Add red pepper jam to the plate. Finish the plate with radish, caviar and fresh herbs. Serve and enjoy!
