Ingredients

  • 500 g tomatoes (roughly chopped)
  • 300 g red peppers (roughly chopped)
  • 5 red chillies (roughly chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic ((roughly chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (roughly chopped)

  • 4 lime leaves (finely chopped)
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 cup sugar (160 grams)
  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and roughly chop tomatoes and place in a large saucepan.
  2. Wash, deseed and roughly chop red peppers and add to tomatoes.
  3. Roughly chop the chilies and add to the pan. Keep the seeds if you want your sauce extra hot.
  4. Peel and roughly chop the garlic, onions, and ginger then add them to the pan.
  5. Finely chop the lemongrass and lime leaves, and add them to the pan along with the star anise, sugar, and fish sauce.
  6. Place the pan over medium heat, cover it with a lid and bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Lower the heat and gently simmer for an hour with the lid on.
  8. Remove the lid and simmer for another hour or until the mixture is almost dry.
  9. Take the pan off the heat, remove the star anises and place the mixture in a food processor.
  10. Blitz until nice and smooth and store in a jar. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Remember to remove 2 pieces of star anise from the pan before blitzing your Tomato&Chili Jam!
  • I recommend you use a food processor for this Thai Style Tomato Chilli Jam. You can't really achieve the same texture by chopping everything by hand and it would possibly take hours.
  • You can make this Chili Jam in big batches and store them in sterilized jars for up to 6 months.
  • This recipe is mildly spicy and quite sweet. However, you can use more/hotter chilies and add less sugar to achieve a spicier and less sweet condiment.
