    Chilli Jam

    Had a session in the kitchen today. Success! The jam not only looks the part, but is damn tasty too My only regrets are that it didn't make as much as expected, and that I've already eaten half a jars' worth just with a spoon before I've actually spread it on anything!

    So I took the original recipe and tweaked it a bit, using the great advice from this thread, and elsewhere...

    I blitzed 600g tomatoes (I opted for san marzano - don't know if that makes any difference), in a food processor, but not for too long, then poured through a fine sieve. Once approx 130 ml of liquid had dribbled through, the tomato pulp was returned to the processor (and excess liquid discarded). I added the prepared chillies (orange thai, same as before - they're about an 8/10 on the heat scale. Not sure what weight of chillies I used; I went with quantity.. 15 I think), garlic, and ginger. I also added x1 sweet pointed red pepper, zest of x1 lime, x1 tsp paprika, and the Thai fish sauce. Blend all of that together, but not to the point of puree.
    Meanwhile, put sugar and vinegar in a pan, and heat gently without stirring until sugar dissolves (this time I used 2/3 caster sugar, 1/3 jam sugar).
    Add other ingredients to pan, heat to boiling, then maintain the rolling boil for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Then simmer for 20 mins. Finally, rest for 15 mins before jarring.

    End result is a perfect consistancy; neither runny nor stiff, and it tastes fantastic! It encourages a fine sweat on ones' brow

    Thanks for all your help
