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 tomatojam to make it Tomatochillijam
Add the cooled onions and peppers and top with slices of tomato. The chillijam I used is the brand 'Le Mesurier', I love their whole range of chutneys and relishes
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
Pour over the creamy tomato sauce, then stir the sauce into the spaghetti until evenly coated. Half-fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil
It did require a quick trip to John Lewis to purchase jam jars and a funnel, but apart from that tomatoesand 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
* to skin tomatoes, place them in a large bowl and pour over boiling water. It is a great way to use up a glut of ripe tomatoes, but this chillijam works very well using tinned tomatoes
