Chef's Notes

Use your food processor to blitz the ingredients to a fine dice. 
Make sure you stir the chilli jam more towards the end of the cooking process so it doesn’t stick to the pan. 
Be careful, the chilli jam is very hot. 
Make sure the jars and jam are still hot when you fill the jars. 
Store in a cool, dark cupboard for up to three months. Once open store in the fridge.

Stumbled across this and how lucky was I, now making my second batch after the first was used as part of Christmas presents for some friends. Love the use of weights compared to other recipes who just used amounts of peppers and chilli required as means I can get it right every time, thanks again it's now bookmarked.

Just made this tonight, used two scotch bonnets and three birds eye chillies. It's just got a lingering heat which was nice and my wife enjoyed it and she doesn't like hot flavours, I might make it a little hotter next time though with an extra scotch bonnet thrown in. I used smoked garlic too. Cracking recipe, I'd say it's got a similar taste to the scotch bonnet chilli jam from by Naomi.
