COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Clever storage: To sterilise preserving jars, place jars and lids in a deep saucepan. Cover with cold water. Place over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Boil gently for 10 mins. Use tongs to carefully remove sterilised jars and lids. Place upside down on a clean tea towel to dry. Store sweet chilli jam in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Use it up: You can use the jam in stir-fries, stirred through noodles, or added to dressings for a chilli kick.
