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.
