Chilli Jam

1  1/2 Kilo of a combination of your choice, taste and desire........chillies (the bulk of the 1  1/2 K), roughy chopped, remove seeds for less heat; onion, garlic, coriander, ginger (grated), galangal (grated)...any combination are fine, if you don't have galangal just omit it, as with any other ingredients u wish to omit ( except chillies!)

 

1 1/2 Kilo Sugar

 

Jam Setta (Pectin in a sachet!) cheating u may think but sooooo  easy u wouldn't not use it!!

 

1/3 C water

 

In a large jam pan put ingredients and water and simmer until soft.

 

Heat sugar and Jam setta in oven for 6 mins, add to Ingredients in the Pan and stir constantly while the sugar melts. When melted bring to the boil stirring constantly, boil vigourisly for 9 mins, checking the Jam for setting after 6 mins and then again at 9 mins. re boil for 3 more minutes until reached your desired setting.

 

To check Jam is set, take pot of boil and leave for a few minutes, take a teaspoon full and drag across a frozen cold pack/lid, if it sets you are done.

 

Leave Jam to cool in pan for 10 mins, heat Jars ready for Jam ( a teaspoon thrown in the jar with some boiling water is easy)
