Chillie pepper recipes

Hi moggssue!

Yes, I'd say you're on exactly the right lines: recycle bought thai sauce bottles with screwtops. Just a different shape from a jamjar, that's all!

Cheers Wellie, can't wait to try some of the lovely sounding recipes you folk have put up here, we just love chili in our house so recycling the bottles isn't a problem haha!

Hello Headfry!

Jup, I've got one, which allegedly makes 7 x 8oz. jars:

4oz. chilli peppers
6oz. sweet peppers
2 1/2 lb. jam sugar
24 fl.oz cider vinegar

Deseed chillies & peppers & chop very finely. Lay on piece of kitchen paper to absorb juices.

Dissolve sugar in cider vinegar & add chillies and peppers. Bring to rolling boil.

Remove pan from heat and allow cool for 20 mins.

Let cool, stirring occasionally until the chillies and peppers are supended in the jelly. This could take half hour or more.
Ladle into sterilised jars.
