Lime and Ginger Chilli Jam

Ingredients

100g red pepper, stem and seeds removed
100g red chillies, stem and seeds removed
A thumb of ginger, peeled and finely grated
Juice of one lime
400 ml cider vinegar
700g Jam sugar

Preparation

1
Put a small plate in the freezer and sterilise 4 x 250g jars.
2
Gently heat 350 ml of cider vinegar and the jam sugar in a large pan, stir occasionally.
3
Meanwhile pop the chillies, pepper, lime juice and remaining cider vinegar into a blender.
4
Put the grated ginger into the centre of a piece of kitchen roll and gather up the sides to create a parcel. Squeeze the parcel of ginger over the blender to extract the juice and blitz until you have a smooth paste.
5
When the sugar has dissolved (approximately 10 minutes) stir in the the chilli paste and turn up the heat. Bring to a rolling boil and leave for 5 minutes, do not be tempted to stir.
6
Test the jam by dripping a small amount onto the chilled plate. After 30 seconds check the consistency, you are looking for a soft gel that moves slightly. If the jam is still runny continue to boil and test every couple of minutes until the jam sets on the chilled plate.
7
Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes before stirring the jam and carefully ladling into your sterilised jars.
