WHAT'S COOKING?

 


Remember them?


I made another batch of chilli jam today. Yummy!





I used the red chillies I've got in the freezer. I've found that chillies, picked fresh and blanched in hot water can keep for a long time frozen. I've got lots of red ones and green ones of different shapes, sizes and spiciness.


I use these for curries, stir-fry dishes, eggs rancheros and of course con-carne chilli. I'm always staggered by the cost of them in the supermarkets where a single chilli can cost at least a couple of dollars.

Is this a post?

Yes it is. It's just a post of very little interest.

Is it cold up north? Is he just making a pun on being chilly?

Sounds delicious but I'm surprised you call it jam...pickles, chutney maybe.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

No. It's a savoury and spicy jam. Pickles and chutney are something different. It is delicious on toast or crackers with smoked salmon spread on top.

Oops, sorry, I was referring back to part of your new fence.

Get a grip.

Robert the sinner said...

Yes he's railing up and getting pickety.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Well done.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Well done? Over cooked, like this post.

I’ll do the puns. You’ve got violin practice to do.

Watch you don't get fatuous eating all that jam.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Did someone just mention a jazz jam?

Robert the sinner said...

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing "You say tomato, I say tomato"?
