Sweet ChilliJam is quick and easy to make and delicious with cheese and homemade bread. Warm through with a little rice vinegar and you have an easy sweet chilli dipping sauce
It’s just basically sugar, vinegar andchillies – a highly typical jam recipe. A teaspoon is a great way to scoop out seeds and flesh, after you have halved the chillies
Tip the peppers, chillies, ginger & garlic into a food processor and whizz until very finely chopped (I have to do this in batches as it won’t all fit in at once
I followed the recipe as per Lisa's blog, however having Indian roots Ilove my spice so I added a red chilli pepper and a sprinkling of chilli powder to the tomato jam to make it Tomato chillijam
It did require a quick trip to John Lewis to purchase jam jars and a funnel, but apart from that tomatoes and bottle of balsamic vinegar where the only other things I needed to pick up, the rest I had in the cupboard
Put the chillies into a food processor and pulse until they’re finely chopped. Jam sugar contains right amount of pectins that some fruit lack, it helps jelly or jam sets quickly, keep their natural falvour and color
The chillijam accompanied the cheeses and it was perfect, not only, as I had expected, with the more mature ones but also combining wonderfully with the young, fresh pecorino
How hot the end result is depends on the heat in the chillies so taste a little piece first and select the strength of chilli depending on your taste or the taste of whoever it's for
Damson andredcurrantjam will be a welcome treat when the skies are grey. The damsons were picked (and shaken) from a tree in our garden, and these redcurrants grew in my mum’s garden
Add these both to a spicy, fragrant chillijamand I am more than happy. This is my 'go to' recipe whenever I need a chilli fix - which is pretty much daily, and luckily this recipe makes a few jars of the stuff
I was very pleased with this jam as the redcurrants gave the jam a fresh tang and we all enjoyed it on my Spelt & Wholemeal No-knead Loaf which I made with white and wholemeal flour for a change
The chillijam I used is the brand 'Le Mesurier', I love their whole range of chutneys and relishes. So very easy to make and without any fancy cooking skills involved, this tart not only looks good, it tastes good too
