Ingredients

• 6 pieces red chilies (long, mild or medium heat)
• 2 pieces red chili (hot)
• 2 large red bell peppers
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 30 grams fresh ginger
• 500 grams granulated sugar
• 350 milliliters white wine vinegar
• 400 grams tomatoes (ripe)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing all the vegetables. Slice the red chilies and the hot chilies lengthwise and remove seeds if you prefer less heat. Roughly chop them.

Step 2

Remove the stems and seeds from the red bell peppers, then dice them into small chunks.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and ginger. Chop both finely or use a food processor to create a paste.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the red chilies, hot chilies, red bell peppers, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Blend until you have a smooth purée.

Step 5

In a large saucepan, add the purée, sugar, white wine vinegar, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. This will help dissolve the sugar.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning or sticking. The jam should thicken and develop a glossy consistency.

Step 8

To check if the jam is set, take a small spoonful and let it cool briefly. It should be thick, sticky, and hold its shape.

Step 9

Once ready, remove the chili jam from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into sterilized jars.

Step 10

Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
