SMOKY CHIPOTLE AND RED TOMATO JAM (CHUTNEY - RELISH)



Smoky Chipotle and Red Tomato Jam (Chutney - Relish) image

A delectable late Summer and Autumn preserve that I concocted with a glut of ripe, juicy red tomatoes and ground chipotles........smoky hot and yet very subtle! This really is more like a jam than a chutney or relish, the consistency is very jam like, thick, smooth and shiny with a good texture. This is the prefect accompaniment for all types of hard cheese, such as mature Cheddar, Comte, Cantal or maybe a nutty Gruyere. It's also a great addition to toasted sandwiches, burgers, sausages, meatloaf, stews, casseroles and curries. This smoky tomato jam would make an ideal gift for a foodie friend - add a pretty paper or linen cap with a raffia bow and attach a card listing the ingredients with suggested serving ideas! NB: I know there is a lot of debate about how to bottle and then store jams, chutneys, pickles and preserves; it is all down to basic good hygiene and common sense! I give you the way that I have always followed - my method may not be the same way as yours - but this old family procedure works for me; please feel free to follow your own method if necessary. A good preserve will last without a hot water bath or oven bottling, as long as your jars and equipment are scrupulously clean and sterilised, and that the correct amounts of preserving agents such as salt, sugar and vinegar are used.

1 -1 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile, to taste

Steps:

  • Tip all the ingredients into a large heavy-based pan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Simmer for 1 hr, and then bring to a gentle boil so that the mixture turns dark, jammy and shiny.

  • How to sterilise jars: Wash them thoroughly in hot, clean, soapy water, drain upside down on kitchen towel and place on a baking tray in a preheated oven at 140C/280F/Gas Mark 1 for 15 minutes. Turn the oven to its lowest setting and keep the jars inside while you make the jam/chutney. Alternatively, you can wash them in a very hot cycle in your dishwasher and then proceed with the oven method as above.

SPICY TOMATO JAM



Spicy Tomato Jam image

My tomatoes overflowth! I was looking for ways to use my bounty and stumbled into this recipe on-line. It is so good I felt that it also needed to be on Zaar. The use of 1 serrano chili produces a very slight heat. If you want it "hotter", up the amount of chili. I made this with fresh garden tomatoes and fresh garden basil.

  • Remove tomatoes from hot water with a slotted spoon and plunge immediately into cold water.
  • Cut off tops, remove skin and core (It is not necessary to remove all the seeds but I would recommend removing the core.).
  • Cut the tomatoes into fourths, place in container of food processor along with metal blade and pulse 2 to 3 times to chop being careful not to over process.
  • Place the tomatoes in a large non-reactive pot or Dutch oven; simmer 10 minutes.
  • Add the chili and sugar, stirring to blend; add lemon juice, cilantro and tomato juice stirring to blend.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and stir until sugar dissolves; approximately 1 minute.
  • Boil gently for 10 minutes skimming off and discarding any scum that may come to the surface.
  • Remove from heat, cover and allow to sit at room temperature for a minimum of 8 hours; overnight is fine.
  • Return the tomatoes to heat, bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thick and temperature on candy/jelly thermometer reaches 220 degrees; approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Skim off any foam, ladle into hot, clean, half-pint canning jars, and leaving 1-inch of head space.
  • Wipe the rim of the jars with clean cloth, place on the lids and rings; put the jars into a water bath canner with boiling water and process for 5 to 10 minutes or as recommended for your altitude.
  • Carefully remove the jars from the water and place on countertop on top of a towel.
  • Allow jars to cool and check seal; label and store in cool place. Enjoy!
  • Note: If you don't have a candy/jelly thermometer; you can use the plate test. Place a small plate in the freezer and allow to chill. Remove plate a drop a small amount of hot jam onto plate, return to freezer for 1 minute. The mixture should hold its shape when touched and not have watery edges.
