    Not quite as planned but...

    Here's my attempt at traffic light Chilli jam
    I used Fatalli for the yellow, green cayenne/khorika for the green and naga for the red. bit of an error with the red as I bottled it too hot and the chilli/pepper bits have risen to the top but it all tastes good.

      Wow, they look yummy T8Ter. I made chilli jam with some Dorset Naga...if I said it's got a bit of a kick, that would be the under statement of the year

      I'm going to make some apple and chilli jelly this weekend...if I can find a good recipe!

        Thanks BB, it was a case of "third time lucky" but I'll know better next time.

        Hi GN, yes I bet the Dorset jam has a kick the red one made with Naga Morich certainly does.

          Ya know what???....I've got a bag of apples under the kitchen table,a pile of chillies on top of it, and some spare jam jars just like yours.....

          yup- your jam looks so superb that I've decided that that's what I'm going to do with them this weekend!!!

          Well done- I'm clearly more than impressed!

              Thanks Nicos/Lettucgrow!,
              I'm not sure if anyone in my family will eat the red one, it is seriously fierce, but I've got a few friends who like to think they're "chilli heads" so that should be interesting after a few beers

                  They look cool! What recipe did you follow? I may try one next time around - purple one would look cool too

                    Hi Chris, it was the Nigella recipe : CHILLI JAM | Recipes | Nigella Lawson: Nigella Lawson’s official site for recipes, books and latest news

                    Pretty straightforward, but I tried making all three lots in one evening. I didn't allow the red and yellow ones to cool enough before putting in the jars. I wanted to make a purple batch with my purple gusto chillies but couldn't find any purple sweet peppers.

                      Thanks mate - maybe those chocolate peppers would help retain the colour (or maybe just go a murky brown... *shrug*).

                      Were those jars just reused? Quite like them

                          I bought the jars in Kitchens, not cheap but I'll some as presents. I usually give a few friends etc, chilli pickled onions, chilli and tomato chutney (get the theme here) and this year an added bonus of chilli jam.
