    Title: Diana Henry's Chile Jam
    Categories: Vegetables, Chilies, Condiments, Citrus
    Yield: 4 Servings

    8 lg Red bell peppers; halved,
    - seeded, chopped
    8 md Red chillies; stemmed,
    - chopped
    1 1/4 kg Granulated sugar
    600 ml White wine vinegar
    Juice of 1 lemon
    350 ml Liquid pectin

    Put all the ingredients, except for the lemon juice
    and pectin, into a large saucepan.

    Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer until
    the peppers are really tender. Leave to cool a little,
    then whizz in a food processor (you want a chunky
    mixture rather than a smooth one).

    Put a small saucer into your freezer.

    Put the chile mixture back into the rinsed-out pan with
    the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil for one
    minute. Pull the pan off the heat, stir in the pectin,
    then gradually bring to the boil again.

    Use a jam thermometer to test for the setting point
    (104ºC/220ºF for jam).

    I also find the ‘wrinkle’ test reliable: put a drop of
    jam on to the freezer-cold saucer, return it to the
    freezer for a couple of minutes then take it out again.
    Push the jam gently with your finger.

    If the surface wrinkles it has reached setting point.

    If it’s still quite liquid, it needs to be returned to
    the heat and boiled for a few minutes before testing
    again.

    Skim any scum off the surface, ladle into hot,
    sterilised jars and seal. It will thicken as it cools
    but has a very soft set, more like a sauce.
