Title: Quick And Easy Chilli Jam
Ingredients:
– 500g red chillies, deseeded and roughly chopped
– 6 garlic cloves, minced
– 5cm piece of ginger, peeled and grated
– 500g ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
– 300ml apple cider vinegar
– 700g granulated sugar
– Juice of 2 limes
– 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, blitz the red chillies, garlic, and ginger until finely chopped. Alternatively, you can finely chop them by hand for a chunkier texture.
2. Transfer the chilli mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the chopped tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Stir well to combine.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the granulated sugar and lime juice to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
5. Continue to cook the jam over low heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 40-50 minutes. The mixture will thicken and develop a jam-like consistency.
6. To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it sets and wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it’s done. If not, continue to cook for a few more minutes.
7. Once the chilli jam has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
8. Carefully transfer the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little room at the top. Seal the jars while the jam is still hot.
9. Allow the chilli jam to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks, but we’re sure it won’t last that long once you taste it!
