Ingredients
- 100gr fresh red chilliseeds removed
- 2medium red peppers
- 200gr cherry or rosa tomatoes
- 8cm fresh gingergrated
- 1,5cups white sugar
- 1/2cup red wine vinegar
- 1medium zest from one lemon
- 1cup boiled water
Instructions
- Chop the chillies, peppers and tomatoes fine using a food processor.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
- Place the chopped chillies, peppers, tomatoes, ginger, sugar, red wine vinegar and lemon zest in a wide saucepan.
- Add water and bring to a boil. Cook at high heat for 10 – 15 minutes, regularly checking to skim the “foam” from the surface of the jam.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow the jam to slow cook for the next 45 minutes, until reduced, sticky and jammy. If you run a spoon through the jam, and it leaves a trail – it’s ready.
- Leave to cool and transfer to a glass jar, with sealed lid. Refrigerate for up to two weeks.
