Best Hot Sweet And Sticky Chili Jam Recipes

SWEET CHILLI JAM

Steps:

• Tip the peppers, chillies (with seeds), ginger and garlic into a food processor, then whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan with the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 50 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Once the jam is becoming sticky, continue cooking for 10-15 mins more, stirring frequently so that it doesn't catch and burn. It should now look like thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, transfer to sterilised jars, then leave to cool completely. Keeps for 3 months in a cool, dark cupboard - refrigerate once opened.

SWEET CHILE GARLIC WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking pans with parchment paper.
• Divide the wings between the baking pans and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange skin-side up and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the apricot jam, sugar, soy sauce and sriracha and bring to a simmer. Pour the sauce into a large bowl.
• When the wings are ready, use tongs to add them to the bowl with the sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the chives.
