* A passing reference to Richard's recent post - 'NO DAMN JAM!'. This post though contains real jam.
The weather has worsened today - rain and it's getting colder. Perfect!
Why perfect?
Well, I've been planning to make some more chilli jam and as it involves some time in the kitchen and having to keep a close eye on things - sterilising jars, crushing, pureeing and chopping the ingredients, simmering and stirring the mixture etc., I didn't want the distraction of a nice day outside.
The cooking has gone well. I used a dozen decent sized red chillies from the freezer. I was afraid that I might have gone overboard with these and so added a bit more caster sugar to the mix to take the edge off. The flavour is fantastic but a bit on the hot side. I got six 310ml jars from this but will need to buy some more mild chilli relish from the supermarket for The Old Girl to blend with mine to her taste. Anatoth make a good one.
This jam is great on crackers or toast with smoked salmon.
I'm making a smoked salmon pizza tonight so will add some to the pesto spread on the pizza base. Yummy.

Yes, but what tunes did you play at the jam?
On bagpipes?
You should have said.
'Hot Punch' goes well on 'the pipes'.
