This is a lovely sweet chilli jam that is not too hot and goes well with cheese, on wraps with chicken, & is great as the base of any Asian Dressing.
If you can get them or are lucky enough to grow them Long Sweet Capsicums are a little sweeter and make a delicious base in this recipe.
Once you have made this you will never be without it.
