Chilli Jam


With a bumper crop of chilli this year, I thought I would try my hand at a new delicacy- Chilli Jam.

My 1st batch has not been a success.


I turned away to sneeze at exactly the wrong time in the jam setting stage, and after washing my hands, my jam was quite dark. It still tasted OK. I bottled (see jam jars post earlier) and gave the jars away to trusty "tasters" for unbiased testing.


The results are back :


  1. delicious with cheese and crackers

  2. need to eat the whole jar on opening - it goes rock solid after 2 days (1 was stored in the fridge, the other in a cupboard)

I haven't given up yet, and with plenty more chilli to pick I will try batch 2 this weekend with the same recipe to have a comparison.
