This chilli and tomato jam recipe appeared in the June BBC Good Food magazine. We do love a good savoury jam to serve with burgers, toasties and a cheeseboard...and this one doesn't disappoint...in fact it's quickly become a favourite!!
The balance of sweet, savoury and spice is just perfect.
If you've got chillies to use up, this is a great jam to make and give as a gift and it will keep well unopened for up to a year in a sterilised jar, in a cool dry place.
Tips
- To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 140C/fan 120C/gas mark 1 until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 minutes, then leave to dry.
- This chilli and tomato jam recipe is easily adapted if you want to make less or more.
