Steps:
- In a pot, combine the chili peppers, red bell peppers, and apple cider vinegar. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes or until the peppers have softened. In a colander, drain the pepper mixture and with the back of a wooden spoon, press on the peppers to extract any excess liquid.
- Transfer the peppers to a food mill or a blender and puree. Press the puree through a sieve to remove the pepper skin. Discard the skin. In a saucepot, over medium heat, add the pepper puree and add the sugar a little at a time and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook the mixture for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat when the mixture resembles a jam texture. Allow to cool and transfer into jars.
TOMATO CHILE JAM
If ketchup put on $300 Japanese cult-brand jeans, this is what it would taste like: global, hip, sexy. This formula - infinitely adaptable, good with cheese, with fish, with spring rolls, as a chutney, as a sambal - began with the New Zealand chef Peter Gordon and was adapted by Darina Allen, the Irish cooking teacher. It appears in her book "Forgotten Skills of Cooking," the first book anyone interested in craft cooking should read.

Steps:

- Slice 3 to 6 fresh red chile peppers (depending on their heat) and add to the blender or processor with garlic, ginger and fish sauce. Blend until smooth.
- Pour into a pan, add the diced tomatoes and vinegar and sugar. Simmer until thick and syrupy, about an hour. Natural pectin in the tomatoes gives the sauce its jammy consistency.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: For a milder jam, use red bell peppers. For a spicier jam, use Fresno or habanero peppers. You can also use a combination of different peppers to create your desired heat level.
- Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on the grill.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a ton of flavor to chili jam. Make sure to peel and mince them finely before adding them to the jam.
- Simmer the jam for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and thicken. You can simmer the jam for longer if you want a thicker consistency.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the jam: This will create a smooth and even consistency. You can also leave the jam chunky if you prefer.
- Store the jam in a clean glass jar: Chili jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the jam for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Chili jam is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be used as a dipping sauce, a spread, or a glaze. It can also be added to stir-fries, curries, and soups. No matter how you use it, chili jam is sure to add a delicious kick of flavor to your food.
