Ingredients

• 5 medium Red bell peppers
• 5 medium Red chilies
• 500 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 200 ml Apple cider vinegar
• 150 grams Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and deseed the red bell peppers, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 2

Cut the red chilies in half, deseed them if you prefer a milder jam, and chop them roughly.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and ginger, and then finely chop them.

Step 4

Add the chopped red bell peppers, chillies, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and ginger to a food processor and blend until finely chopped.

Step 5

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the blended mixture and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the apple cider vinegar and honey to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a slow boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, allowing the mixture to simmer gently for about 45 minutes until the jam thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

After 45 minutes, stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool slightly.

Step 10

Transfer the hot chilli jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top, and seal them tightly.

Step 11

Let the jars cool completely at room temperature before storing them in a cool, dark place for up to a month, or refrigerate for longer storage.

Step 12

Enjoy your heart-healthy chilli jam as a spread, dip, or marinade to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.
