This is a really yummy Chili jam! It is my first attempt at making any preserve and I am impressed with how easy it was and how well it turned out! Only thing that let it down was that I was expecting the recipe to make enough for a few jars (Xmas gifts) and by the time it has reduced down to an appropriate thickness (2 1/2 hours) , I only had enough jam to fill 1 440ML jar... So back I go to the fruit shop to buy another 2kg's of tomatoes and 16 Chili's! I will definitely make this one again though :-)

This was really nice the second time I made it after I pureed the chilis, otherwise the heat does not spread through the dish and is just really concentrated in the chilis. Appart from that it is really easy to same and tasted nice with stir fried veggies. The tomato peeling tip was really good too, I will do that from now on.
