This homemade chilli jam recipe is a sweet, spicy, and tangy condiment that can elevate a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding a flavor boost to meats, sandwiches, cheese plates, and more.
Ingredients
- 1 kg ripe tomatoes chopped
- 6 large red chilies seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, chilies, sugar, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, salt, ground coriander, and ground cumin.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently, for 30-40 minutes, or until the jam thickens to a spreadable consistency.
- To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If the jam holds its shape and doesn't immediately run, it's ready.
- While the jam is simmering, sterilize your jars and lids by submerging them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars immediately.
- Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating. The chilli jam can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months.
