Chilli Jam or Chilli Chutney Recipe Needed

[mrscorpio]

Hi All
As per the title, do any of you have a tried and tested recipe.
We recently went to a food fair and purchased some chilli jam. The ingredients included :- Tomatoes, Chillis, possibly onions, star anise, garlic, possibly cinnamon.

It would be nice to get something similar as we have polished off the jar, and washed the label off.
I have a lot of Jalapenos (and other chillis) growing, and it would be nice to use them.

I have searched the vine and im sure a recipe exists but I cant find one.

Chilli Pepper Jelly from River Cottage Preserves:

750g red bell peppers
100g Jalapeno or other chillies
50g root ginger
350ml cider vinegar
1kg jam sugar with added pectin
50ml lime juice (1 - 2 limes)
1 level teaspoon salt

Slice peppers and chillies in half and remove fibrous tissue and seeds. Chop the peppers, chillies and root ginger finely or blitz in food processor. Place in a large pan, add the vinegar and slowly bring to a simmer. Add the sugar, lime juice and salt and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, and boil for 4 - 6 minutes. Remove from heat, leave to cool and pour into clean, sterilised jars.

I have requests for this from my granddaughter aged 11. Can't make enough of it.

BTW this is an excellent book IMHO.

Ooooh, controvertially I need to disagree with all and categorically state that Sarah Raven's Chilli Jam is the absolute best. Problem is I haven't got the recipe on me (I'm at work). I 'll post it next week...
