Chilli Jam

• This is a recipe that I have been making for years.
• I do not remember where I got it from.
• I do not think of it as Polish but everyone loves it.
• It goes really well with cold meats and Polish sausage – kielbasa.
• I have often been asked for the recipe.
• So I thought I would write it up and share it.
• The amounts are not so rigid – you and adjust them to your tastes and what is available.
• I usually go to Leeds market to buy all the fresh produce.
• It makes around 4 jars –
• HOWEVER – Because of all the chopping and the amount in a jam pan – I never double up on these ingredient quantities.
