I know the words Chilli and Jam may not go together for some people, nor does it seem like a very appetising pairing, but if you love chillies like I do, this may possibly change your life. Give me a strong blue cheese and some chilli jam any day of the week. A lot of my friends are under the impression that because I love to cook I would be very picky and expect the creme de la creme of cuisine, however I'm the total opposite. Yes I love good food, but simplicity is often the best, you can keep your fancy cheffy ways because when it boils down to it quality wins over technique every time. I happen to think the heat and sweetness of this jam compliments any strong cheese. Jam is not to be feared this is hugely forgiving and can be used in such a lot of things. This is for all you chilli addicts. You will need: 1kg of jam sugar (with added pectin) 50ml of water 150ml of white vinegar 2 tablespoons of deseeded scotch bonnet chillies and finely chopped 2 finely chopped red romano peppers 3 tbsp of chopped garlic 2 1/2 tsp of maldon sea salt 1 tsp of chopped marjoram or thyme the juice of one lime Place all of the above items into a pan and cook for 20-25 minutes on a medium heat. That's all folks.
