Pickled Chillies

Technically, I haven't made anything because I used ready-made pickling vinegar, but I'm still posting up my pickled chillies (apache & cheyenne)

Traffic Light Chilli Jam

Following the success of my chilli jam last year I decided to experiment a bit this year and try making traffic light chilli jam.

I more or less followed the same recipe as last time which for one batch is:

• 300g peppers (I tended to use this quantity in sweet peppers, then added 4-5 chillies depending on how hot they were).
• 600ml vinegar (I used either white wine or cider)
• 1kg jam sugar

For the red I used bellboy, sweet banana, apache and cayenne.

For the amber I used luteus (supplemented with shop bought orange peppers) and cheyenne.

For the green I used unripe versions of whatever looked greenest.

Here are the results

Taste wise, the green is definitely the mildest; I assume because the chillies haven't ripened yet so have less heat... still has a kick though.
