Red chili jam

During the time I start this cooking and photography blog I mad many recipes that I fell in love with them. Some were from cooking books or blogs, other just my own recipes with the ingredients I had in my kitchen.  This red chili peppers jam is one of them. I started from the basic red chili jam recipe and then I add some ingredients that I felt will please me more.

Here is the original recipe: Red chili jam. It is from a Romanian chef that I like to watch sometimes. With google translate you can read it in English too.

My quantities are a little bit different from the original recipe and this was my choice.

Ingredients:

• 350 g red chili peppers
• 200 g sugar
• 150 ml apple vinegar
• Juice from 1 orange
• Juice from 2 lemons
• 2 red peppers

Directions:

Cut the chili and red peppers in small pieces and then use a kitchen robot to make them as small as possible. I like it very spicy so I made 2 batches: one with seeds and one without the seeds. They are both heaven, but I need to prepare you that the one with seeds is so very spicy. I love it!

I didn’t use any gloves or mask because I didn’t feel necessary but that is only me. If you are not very friendly with your red chilies use gloves.

In a pot put the vinegar, sugar, orange and lemon juice and let it boil for 5 minutes. Add the peppers. With the heat at minimum let it boil till is thick.

Remove from the heat when the mixture resembles a jam texture. Allow to cool and transfer into jars.

Have fun making it and then enjoy it! I will put it even on the cake.
