serving suggestions

serve as a relish with omlets,fish dishes,chicken or vegetables.
i mostly use it with pan fried duck brest
and with hake fillets that we crumb and pan fry
this chilli jam is delicately spicy and slightly hot, a unique flavour
this year i have made a extra hot version using 25-30 grams of home grown hot chilli peppers
enjoy

Thanks for the recipe - I love Chilli Jam but my recipe doesn't puree the peppers so this is great as much quicker. It is highly addictive isn't it - I put a spoon full in pasta sauces - livens up the tomato base.

Thanks for this. I've got a chilli sauce recipe but won't have as many chillis this year as last, so a recipe which bulks it out with some peppers as well will be very useful.
