Nigella's chilli jam

It will keep for pretty much ever - as it is sugar and cider vinegar....and it is boiled up and put into sterilised jars.

However, ours gets used up in a few weeks;it's so popular.

I made 5 batches last year from home grown chilis, plus whenever I find an offer on bags of chilis I buy a load and make another batch.

It's so easy it's insane!

Can you make this in a metal pan? I know some things you can't due to the oxidisation or something. Also when I googled Nigella's recipe it doesn't mention chilli flakes just fresh chillies, are you kind people suggesting using chilli flakes instead? I want to make some as presents so thought best check to get it right.

thanks

Metal jam pans are fine.

Chilis are better to be honest; the chili flakes are talking about a different recipe.

I love this stuff, so easy to make. I'm doing red and green for my xmas hampers. Some of my friends drove to London from Newcastle to get some from me!! (and a few drinkies lol)

I did Nigella's Chilli Jam. It made four average jam jars full (can't tell you the size as I soaked the labels off). It was easy to do, and tastes wonderful. I use it with cheese and cold meats in sandwiches and drizzled over Chicken before cooking, it goes all sticky and gorgeous.

I wholly recommend the Nigella one, but then again, I've not made any others, so have nothing to compare it to. It tastes nice and it's easy to do - that's good enough for me.
