Begin by washing the red chillies, red peppers, and Fresno peppers thoroughly. Remove the seeds for a milder jam or keep them if you prefer it extra spicy.
Finely chop the chillies, red peppers, and Fresno peppers. Set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves and ginger.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped chillies, red peppers, Fresno peppers, garlic, and ginger.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.
Add the honey and no salt added tomato paste to the saucepan.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to combine all ingredients.
Once simmering, lower the heat and let the mixture cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking or burning.
The jam is ready when it thickens and reduces to a glossy consistency.
Remove from heat and let the chilli jam cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage.
Store in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening. Enjoy your low sodium chilli jam with cheese platters, as a sandwich spread, or as a condiment with roasted meats.
