I am going to try this. Just a nice medium warmth I reckon. Would really be nice for that Chilli Jam Chicken Recipe. Thankyou
I cooked this a little long so it ended up really thick but it still tastes yummy. Have made it so I can make the chilli jam chicken but after the taste test I think I could just eat it all with a spoon. I used 1tsp of the chili seeds because we like spice. So easy to make and I will be making again
I just made a batch of this Chilli Jam. It was so easy to make and tastes awesome! I am going to have it on hamburgers tonight. 🙂
I made this chilli jam it was so delicious, i times the recipe x 5 and it all got eaten up at the bbq we had, will definitely be making this again. ?
I have just showed these to my daughter and she is over the moon 🙂
Mark I really must do it in larger batches as well instead of making it what seems every week, although I don’t think it would last any longer 🙂
Love this, mine went quite watery however, I would definetely make this again. The flavour combinations are beautiful
Please forgive this stupid question… if I triple the amount of chillies, do I triple all ingredients. How would this affect cooking time please?
No stupid questions Anne 🙂
If you just want extra heat I would leave the other ingredients as is, if you want a bigger batch I would triple everything.
Cooking time can vary with different slow cookers but assuming you are using the same slow cooker I would probably allow an extra hour or two.
I also find the time it takes to reduce to a thick consistency varies with how juicy my tomatoes are 🙂
Instead of fresh tomatos can you use tinned? Will it change the taste, etc?
i have a monier crock pot approx 5 litres how much can i scale this up and what extra time should i allow . john
Bekah I haven’t used tinned tomatoes but I think it would have a stronger tomato taste and would take longer to reduce with the extra liquid
John not sure on how much extra time but Mark below has done it x5.
I had to allow almost double time for the last regular batch I did as the tomatoes were extra juicy so that can play a part as well as how hot your slow cooker is.
I used my own capsicum tomato Chilli recipe and cooked in my slow cooker for 9 hours on high, reduced after a good stir and cooked on low another 2 hours added ginger and garlic made 6 300ml jars.
Does it thicken as it cools? Or do you cook to correct thickness.
Leah I tend to cook until the liquids have reduced to a thick consistency, this can vary on how juicy the tomatoes are though. It does thicken more when it cools as well.
Hi, made this recipe today. How long does it keep for, e.g. month etc. Thanks
Clare, my daughter eats it straight from the jar/bowl so we are lucky if it lasts 2 days, definitely never had any left longer than a week.
How long will this chilli jam recipe last for ( months , weeks etc ) ??
Thankyou
I had fun making this jam.
I turned it off to thicken .
So delicious and a good recipe.
I already know it not going to last long at all.
