awesome chilli jam

Recently I came across a recipe for chilli jam. I've tweeked it a little to make it slightly cheaper and easier to cook.

Recipe:

Ingredients
  • 8 red peppers , deseeded and roughly chopped
  • 10 red chillies , roughly chopped
  • finger-sized piece fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 8 cloves of garlic , peeled
  • 400g chopped tinned tomatoes 
  • 750g caster sugar
  • 250ml distilled vinegar
Method
  1. Tip the peppers, chillies (with seeds), ginger and garlic into a food processor, then whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan with the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 30 mins, stirring occasionally.
  2. It should now look like thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, transfer to sterilised jars, then leave to cool completely. Keeps for 3 months in a cool, dark cupboard - refrigerate once opened.
I use this jam with char grilled king prawns...amazing! To be honest i'm slightly addicted to this stuff. It goes so well with so many diffrent things.
