  This sauce/jam was fantastic, especially with cheese. I doubled up the quantities and gave it away as christmas presents. Within days I had family and friends phoning me asking for more. They even took it to family buffets! My boyfriends sister doesnt like spicy food but loved it with soft cheese on toast. I changed the recipe slightly as I found it too spicy - I added about a cup of forest honey and a bit more sugar towards the end. The last bit I have left is hidden in the fridge away from addicted family and friends!! I will definately make it again, I will just have to pursuade my mum to let me borrow her jam pan again!

  The first time I made it this was for a family get together - all four jars disappeared through the course of the evening - either eaten or taken away by my kids! What a success! I have since made this recipe countless times and everyone raves over it. I made it for a shooting party with pheasant pasties - nothing came back! It also works with mixed peppers although the colour isn't so good. Thankyou for such a wonderful recipe.

  I LOVE chilli jam and found this recipe to taste the best and closest to jars of ready-made I used to get. My only quibble is that it does take longer than suggested to thicken if you're using a big saucepan! I've made 2 batches now and the 2nd time I boiled it longer but still not long enough as it's a tiny bit runny... Overall it's a brilliant recipe and the most delicious addition to any meal. Make loads because if you're like us, you'll get through it very quickly!

  Nando's has sent me searching for chilli jam so I'm going to make this. Do you think it will matter if I use lazy garlic, lazy chilli and lazy ginger as I find them really easy to use and keep them in the cupboard for use with all manner of cooking

  Oh boy this is good!!! The first online recipe that I've ever done that has been 100% success. As other people have said, it took alot longer for the sauce to thicken, probably two hours. I used a selection of different chillis for a nice blend. All I can say is Wow! Thankyou so much! Will be making loads more!!

  Great recipe. I made it for family and friends for christmas and they have all put in requests for more. I use it with melted cheese and ham in tortilla layers toasted in a dry pan, add it to homemade burgers, anything I want to add a sweet kick to!

  We all just loved this recipe, in fact I'm about to make my second batch just one week after the first. I have to confess though that I made half the amount just in case we weren't keen. Silly me! I went looking for a chilli jam recipe after my husband tried some at our local eatery after they ran out of mint sauce (yes it does go with lamb). My son-in-law is convinced it would make a good ice-cream topping too. I couldn't find a version in the shops so thought I would make my own and whilst it's not the same consistency as the pub one it's every bit as nice. I didn't read the recipe properly and carefully and neatly chopped the peppers only to find you blitz them in a processor. So this batch should take half the time.

  Aradia - I made it with fresh tomatoes, and it is lovely :-) (and I'm still going through the remainder of my batch - it is perfect stirred into a beef stir-fry!)

  I made this for presents last Christmas (2008) and have had so many people asking for the recipe it was a triumph! It did take longer than the recipe states - I used a very large preserving pan so perhaps I'll try a smaller pan next time although I may just quadruple the amount as it went down so well! Just kep on watching it for the last half an hour and tasting to test of course, it will suddenly thicken and be perfect, you'll know when it happens! For the presents I used the smallest size kilner jars but for myself I just re-used a combination of mustard pots and small jam jars and it made about 8 jars in total. Definitely recommended! I got the taste the difference cherry toms from Sainsburys and used my own home grown red chillies, not sure what the variety was but they were anout 5-7cm long and quite fat. Sadly I only managed to produce two peppers though so had to buy these! Give it a try!
