  Come across a problem with this. I was sitting in my kitchen and I could hear a hissing noise I sourced it to one of my jars of jam and when I opened it, it was bubbling in the jar as if it was fermenting and it smelt yeasty I don't know why There is no guideline as to how long you can keep it. I made it three weeks ago.I have discarded this jar and I have moved the rest out of the kitchen to a cooler place, only trouble is I have 15 jars of it and I have a funny feeling that the others might go the same way. Any advice.

  I made this as holiday gifts for friends. I had read the comments above about concern over the jam going off. Although the recipe says to cool the jam and pour it into jars, I sterilized my jars (in the oven) and the lids (with boiling water), and combined everything while still hot (didn't properly seal with wax or anything, just sterilized and then put the lids on very tight. The jam didn't scorch when poured into the hot bottles). I kept two jars for myself. One I opened in December. It was almost empty and by mid-January, mold was growing on the inside of the jar. I opened the second jar yesterday, about 5 weeks after making the jam, and it was fine. I don't know how long it would have kept for, but again it seems okay after 5 weeks. And it's very good--my favourite is with cream cheese on toast or blinis!

  Hi, I have just made this and no, i didnt deseed the chillies, thats what really supplies the little kick to it. Can i ask, if you have made this successfully, can you tell me if the mixture is supposed to be thick like a relish? Mine is quite runny and am concerned it will not thicken at all.

  I love this recipe but I think to call it a jam could be a little confusing. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that I find I have to cook it for much longer than the 40 minutes suggested to get that nice sticky texture. I chop the onion quite finely because I don't want large chunks in the finished relish. I do deseed the chillies but then the chillies from my garden are pretty hot and I like a nice tangy taste rather than something that is going to overpower other foods. I, too, keep mine in the fridge because I'm not sure how long it will keep and I also put it into sterilised jars whilst it is still hot. I'm still trying to get my head round Margaret's 15 jars of it. That's an awful lot of tomatoes.

  I made this with cherry tomatoes from my grandma's garden and chillis and onions from our garden! I left the seeds in the chillis, to give it a good kick, but it's not too spicy. I chopped the tomatoes and onions up as small as possible. I had to cook it for nearly an hour until the tomatoes were browned, and I've ended up with a rather thick, salsa-like chutney that works nicely in sandwiches. I sterilised my jars and put the mixture into them whilst it was still slightly hot, to allow the jars to seal a bit. So far I've found that it keeps well in the fridge- about two months is the longest it's lasted so far, but it usually gets eaten before then!

  I would treat this a a fresh chutney and store in fridge as theres not enough sugar or vinegar in the recipe to keep from going off.

  seems more like a relish to a jam or chutney which means it won't keep as long. Not enough sugar or vinegar obviously for it to keep very long. Sounds yummy though!

  The Calorie Count is obviously very wrong and the breakdown looks like it is for another recipe altogether. Don't worry, it's not fattening.
