Help! Chilli jam recipe

3 replies

Can anyone help me please? I'm just about to start making Nigella's chilli jam but the website (or my beloved macbook) seems to be playing up so I can't read the recipe. Does anyone have the details who would be happy to post. I have the ingredients and jars all ready but need to know what to do and with how much! Many thanks in advance.

Is this the one?

Ingredients

* Gluten Free
* Nigella Recipe
* Vegetarian
* 150g long fresh red chillies, each deseeded and cut into about 4 pieces.
* 150g red peppers, cored, deseeded and cut into rough chunks
* 1kg jam sugar
* 600ml cider vinegar
* 6 x 250ml sealable jars, with vinegar-proof lid, such as Kilner jar or re-usable pickle jar

Method

  1. Sterilize your jars and leave to cool.
  2. Put the cut-up chillies into a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the chunks of red pepper and pulse again until you have a vibrantly red-flecked processor bowl.
  3. Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar in a wide, medium-sized pan over a low heat without stirring.
  4. Scrape the chilli-pepper mixture out of the bowl and add to the pan. Bring the pan to the boil, then leave it at a rollicking boil for 10 minutes.
  5. Take the pan off the heat and allow it cool. The liquid will become more syrupy, then from syrup to viscous and from viscous to jelly-like as it cools.
  6. After about 40 minutes, or once the red flecks are more or less evenly dispersed in the jelly (as the liquid firms up, the hints of chilli and pepper start being suspended in it rather than floating on it), ladle into your jars. If you want to stir gently at this stage, it will do no harm. Then seal tightly.

    Serves: Makes approx. 1.5. Litres

No problem - can't believe your macbook let you down though. My macbook would never let me down. Wink
