It's spicy, fragrant, lusciously thick and indecently easy to make.
It knows it's tasty and it knows you think so too.
It's definitely smutty!

It luxuriates wantonly in the fridge until you need it. It knows it won't be there long. I like to serve it with cheese and crusty bread or spread on a wrap before adding salad leaves, roast vegetables and fresh mozzarella.
You can add a dollop to your plate when you are enjoying a curry instead of mango chutney and it's great on a wholemeal sandwich with brie and slices of ripe tomato or feta and salad.
My absolutely favourite way to have it is in a stacked roll with a burger.

ReplyDeleteThank Dom, oh King Smut!
DeleteI've never made any, but I buy sweet chili jam all the time. I love in on hummus and crackers and corn muffins. I slathered it on some veggie sausage and biscuits I made last weekend too. Yours is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh it would be good on veggie sausages. You really should try making it if you use it a lot Claire. It really is easy.
DeleteWhat an utterly gorgeous jar - and I am going to wrestle again this year with my carrot chutney that didn't turn out so well last time... but a tomato jam is going on the list as well. Dumped over creamed cheese and then dipped with carrots it would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, tomato jam with cream cheese sounds like a great dip. Mmmmmmmmm!
DeleteGood luck with the carrot chutney!
Oh my my, this looks GREAT!! I think I would put this on everything ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is easily done Cathleen. It is rather too good :)

ReplyDeleteLove chilli jam! Where did you get your jar from? It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have now made this recipe about ten times since I got my shiny new maslin pan. It is delicious.
ReplyDeleteI always use three or four tins as well and have started to give it away to friends and relatives.
have you tried putting a teaspoon of black onion seeds in? That gives an incredible flavour, just omit the ginger.
I am so glad you are enjoying it. There is no greater joy for me than hearing that people are using my recipes and enjoying them. I love this one too. I'll try it with the onion seeds next time I make it. Thanks for the tip x
DeleteThis is absolutely delicious and so quick to make.
ReplyDeleteTHANKYOU
