My garden is full of little bell peppers (like Pepperdews), Chillis and my Tamarillo tree is drooping Tamarillos. So what better way than to utilize them all in a sweet chilli jam. You can substitute the Tamarillos for tomatoes if you like. It is absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
1 Cup (250ml) Tamarillos, skinned and chopped.
1 Cup (25ml) peppers, chopped. ( I used a mix of sweet caspium peppers and chilli peppers)
1 Tbls (15ml) Garlic, crushed.
2 Cups (500ml) Sugar.
1/2 Cup (125ml) White grape vinegar
1 Tbls (15ml) Dark Balsamic vinegar
2 Tbls (30ml) Freshly squeezed lemon Juice
1/2 tsp (5ml) Salt
Method
- Put all the ingredients in a medium sized saucepan
- Keep on a low heat stirring occasionally until all the sugar has turned to liquid.
- Turn up slightly and simmer for about 45 minutes until the jam turns syrupy.
- Test a bit on a spoon, the cooled liquid on the spoon must be thickish and syrupy but it will thicken even more on cooling.
- Sterilize a jar in boiling water, and pour the warm jam into the jars.
Tips:
- Makes about 2 cups of jam
- will keep for about a month or so in the fridge
- Can substitute tomatoes for the Tamarillos
