Ingredients
* 1 kg ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
* 1/3 cup basil leaves, chopped
* 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
* 1/3 cup dry sherry
* 2 birdseye chillies, seeded and chopped
* 2/3 cup raw sugar
Method

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. When boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve as part of a ploughman's lunch, with roasted meats, roasted vegetables or with a juicy steak or home made burger.

Tips:

Leftovers can be cooled, spooned into a jar, and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

Flavour of jam develops with time, and is best made a day ahead, for optimum flavour enjoyment

Chilli Jam is delicious served with roasted meats such as roast beef, pork or lamb, roasted vegetables, on burgers, or as part of a ploughman's lunch.
