Best Cranberry Sweet Chilli Jam Recipes

CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes (jam will continue to thicken as it cools).
• Force jam through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding skins and seeds. Cool, stirring occasionally.

SWEET CHILLI JAM

Steps:

• Tip the peppers, chillies (with seeds), ginger and garlic into a food processor, then whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan with the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 50 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once the jam is becoming sticky, continue cooking for 10-15 mins more, stirring frequently so that it doesn't catch and burn. It should now look like thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, transfer to sterilised jars, then leave to cool completely. Keeps for 3 months in a cool, dark cupboard - refrigerate once opened.

CHILLI CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Gently heat sugar and wine in a saucepan. Once sugar has dissolved, bring to the boil.
• Tip in the chilli and cranberries, return to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for about 10 mins until the berries have popped but not completely collapsed. Take off the heat. The sauce will continue to cook with the heat from the pan, then thicken as it cools.
