Our spicy chilli jam is for those of us who are self confessed chilli heads. The perfect balance of sweet and sour flavours with a huge kick of chilli heat!
Place the chillies, apples, root ginger and garlic into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse together until everything has been minced into small pieces. Take care not to over blend - do not puree the mixture.
Place the chilli mixture into a large, thick bottomed saucepan along with the sugar and apple cider vinegar. Place the pan on the stove over a medium heat and warm gently until the sugar has dissolved.
Now increase the heat and bring to a boil, skimming any scum off the top.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the jam for 45 minutes, stirring the pan from time to time to stop the jam from sticking.
After 45 minutes the jam will have thickened and become sticky. If not cook for a further 5 minutes.
Take the jam off the heat and decant into sterlised jars. Cover the top of the jam with a wax paper disk and seal with the lid.
Set the jars aside to cool completely and give the lids a final twist to ensure are on tightly.
Store the jars in a cool, dark and dry place until ready to use.
Notes
Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark and dry place for up to one year.Once opened the jars should be stored in the fridge and used within one month.
