  • Noice!

    Anyone jamming with a more sophisticated recipe than jam sugar, cider vinegar and peppers? Not sure if worth it as the above works so well(?!)

  • That's all you need.

  • That’s all we do as well, nowt fancy.
    The only thing we find is that it often needs a teaspoon or two of pectin powder to help it set. Perhaps the peppers we’ve used have been especially watery..

    Good score from the local garden centre today, 2 are short date and the 3rd is just out of date so got them for 50p each. Always worth checking the dates and being brave enough to ask lol.
    We use mostly franchi seeds on the allotment for all our veg as they’re far superior to anything from suttons etc. Not had chillis from them before but a quick shake of the packet suggests there’s fucktons in there…

  • If you know what flavour you like, just dial it with herbs, spices, different type of sugar etc. I roast the chilli fruit (seeds in) with sweet peppers (seeds out), loads of garlic, little onion, then into a pan with cider vinegar, sugar, and some tomatoes. And add earthy herb/spices (cumin, coriander seed, anything else lying around), balsamic vinegar to knock back the sweetness, or honey for a sweeter taste if you prefer.

    I tried a few times flame-toasting the chillis and peppers on a kitchen gas hob to get a deeper, smokey flavour, but tbh. can’t really tell the difference with just roasting in an oven ….barbecue/smoke them for proper smokey flavour

    Sort-of edit; should have said I’m after a less-sweet, more chutney, savoury flavour.
