Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 6 medium red chillies
- 0.75 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup medjool dates
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Start by washing the red bell peppers and red chillies. Remove the seeds and core from the bell peppers and roughly chop them. For the chillies, remove seeds if you prefer a milder jam.
Pit the medjool dates and roughly chop them. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly. Peel the garlic cloves.
In a food processor, add the chopped bell peppers, chillies, dates, ginger, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped and well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and add the apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and lime juice.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let the mixture simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and achieves a jam-like consistency.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender carefully (in batches if necessary) to achieve a smoother consistency, if desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to balance flavors.
Let the chilli jam cool completely before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Store the jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a condiment or spread!
