Has anyone made the above & if so which chillis would they recommend. Have to buy them so probably not many varieties to choose from.
-
No but post the recipe! sounds yummy.

grannyjanny - I used our cayene chillies - the recipe turned out very well, bit too sweet for me tho. Think I might try it with the small thai chillies I have grown (they are the same or similar to ones you can buy in packs in the veggie shop or supermarket - thin and about 2 / 3" long), but these are hotter

I made some chilli jam yesterday using tomatoes rather than peppers and it's luscious.
10 cayenne chillies
3 cloves garlic
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
750g soft brown sugar
250ml red wine vinegar
Blitz the chillies, garlic and toms in a food processor than heat in a pan with the sugar and vinegar. Stir thoroughly till all the sugar is dissolved and then simmer, stirring occasionally, till reduced and thick.
Needless to say I didn't have the right vinegar so used balsamic and cider. I also deseeded the chillies but used twice as many so I have a fruity chilli jam with a nice, but not volcanic, kick. Don't want to scare the Belgians or my daughter.
I think I might make some more using the green chillies and some green tinned toms I have in the cupboard and white wine vinegar this time.

I like that idea - and another way of using green tomatoes ;D

I have made Nigella's and was really pleased with it. Obbelix I still have a lot of chilli's in the greenhouse so thought I'd give your recipe a try, do you strain the tomato's first?
-
No Aggie. Just blitz them in the processor.

Thanks
