  This was really tasty and I used the left-over chilli jam on sandwiches etc. I would definately make it again and will try using different meats.

  Living in Spain with an abundence of tomatoes the chilli jam has become a real favorite. I spread the chilli jam over cream cheese and serve with nachos/crisps it is delicious and many of my friends and family on holiday take the recipe/jar home with them, it is also good served with any meat, hot or cold. I quadruple the recipe and it keeps well.

  The chilli jam was very easy to make, tastes delicious and instead of the chicken, we served it with fresh, peeled prawns on sticks to dunk. Yummy.

  can you please state on the recipes how much a serving is - in this case does it mean one, two or more - its very hard to judge for the calorie count

  made this for a side dish at luchtime, husband and son loved it but said the jam could have been hotter, this may be down to the chillis being home grown - sometimes the heat differs! Had the jam a couple of days later with some cheese and salami for a supper snack, loved it and will make again. I did find I had to cook it for longer to make sure the liquid cooked out of it though.

  The whole family loved this. Will be doing it again tonight with our BBQ will be great cooked over coals. Will be adding more chilli's this time as it really had no heat last time. Think this will become a firm favourite in my house.

  A complete success. The chicken is tasty and the jam is delicious, with the right amount of heat. As everyone here commented that the jam was great, I made an excess of it, and my guests asked me for a jar to take home. Undoubtedly, I will cook this recipe again.

  The Tomato Chilli Jam is fantastic. I make it regularly for friends and family. Highly recommend it. I too cook if for longer. The secret is until it thickens.

  I just make the chilli jam to keep in the fridge as it is so tasty. Great on sandwiches, and with other meats too, even with goats cheese on a crazy antipasti platter. We love it with grilled sausage and cheese sandwiches.

  I have to say the chilli jam is absolutely amazing! Didn't have a food processor in the house so finely chopped everything by hand and was exquisite! Will definitely be making this again as is so simple to do!

  Couldn't get my hands on Szechuan pepper so I instead used Schwartz Thai 7 Spice and it was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this as a variation to the recipe.

  Forget the chicken. This is all about the chilli jam. I first made this a couple of weeks ago and so far I have had to make 4 jars of it and people keep asking for more. It is delicious. Its not very spicy but it is full of flavour.
