Ingredients

• 500 grams ripe tomatoes
• 4 whole red chillies
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 200 grams white sugar
• 100 ml apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 50 ml water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and chop the tomatoes into small chunks. Remove stems from the chillies and roughly chop them. If you want less heat, deseed the chillies.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, setting them aside for use.

Step 3

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, chillies, garlic, grated ginger, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan on medium heat and stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

As the mixture cooks, it will thicken and take on a jam-like consistency. If needed, use a potato masher or immersion blender to break down the tomatoes and chillies further for a smoother texture.

Step 7

Taste the jam and adjust the seasoning with extra salt or sugar if desired.

Step 8

Once the jam reaches the right consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the jam into sterilized jars while still warm, sealing them tightly. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing.

Step 10

Store the Tomato Chilli Chile Jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Serve as a condiment, glaze, or spread.
