Chilli jam

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Of course, real friends of fire not only need their chili kick at lunchtime or for dinner, but also at the breakfast table. For those who prefer crusty buns, toast or a few slices of bread anyway, chilli jam is just the thing: a few spicy slices and the day really gets going!

Ingredients:
750g red peppers
250g red chili peppers (spicy)
300g ginger
1kg cane sugar
450ml apple cider vinegar

preparation:

Clean the peppers and chillies and cut into cubes.
Peel and finely grate the ginger.
Put the peppers, chillies, ginger, cane sugar and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan,
bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes until the peppers and chillies are soft.
Scoop out two to three scoops of the mixture and place in a separate bowl.

Blend the remaining mass with a hand blender to a smooth consistency.
Then add the removed amount back so that the jam contains pieces.
If it gets a little thicker, let it simmer a little longer.

I tried it with preserving sugar, but I found the result better with regular cane sugar.
