Sweet Chilli Jam

Ingredients 

150g (around 10) cayenne chillies 

250g red bell peppers 

50g fresh ginger-peeled and chopped 

500ml apple cider vinegar 

1kg jam sugar 

90ml lime juice 

1 level tsp salt 

Method

Slice and chop the chillies and peppers, remove seeds and white membrane. Place into a preserving pan or large saucepan and add the ginger. Add the apple cider vinegar and place on a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes on low.  

Whizz with a stick blender until you have a puree. Add the jam sugar, lime juice and salt. Keep on a low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Boil rapidly for 3 to 4 minutes and remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then ladle into clean sterilised jars. This is amazing with cheeses and cold meats.
