Best Chilli Cranberry Jam Recipes

CRANBERRY & SWEET CHILLI JAM

Steps:

• Tip half the cranberries, the ginger and chillies into a food processor and whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan and add the remaining cranberries along with the sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil, skimming off any scum that comes to the surface. Turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and keep cooking for about 20-30 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once the jam is starting to become sticky, continue cooking for a further 5 mins, stirring frequently so that the mixture doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. It should look like a thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, then transfer to sterilised jars and leave to cool completely. Will keep for three months in a cool, dark place; keep in the fridge once opened.

CHILLI CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Put cranberries in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and stand for 10 minutes to soften. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
• Combine the chillies and onion in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium, heavy-based saucepan. Add the cranberries, sugar, salt, vinegar, port and the reserved cranberry liquid. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and boil gently for 30-40 minutes, or until thick and jam-like. Spoon immediately into a clean, dry jar. Seal and turn the jar upside down for 2 minutes. Turn the right way up and set aside to cool.
