Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chilli Jam Recipe

Wash and remove the stems from the long red chillies. Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds if you prefer a milder jam.
Peel and roughly chop the red onion, garlic, and ginger.
Place the chopped chillies, onion, garlic, and ginger into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
Transfer the blended mixture into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, vinegars, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir together.
Gently heat while stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes.
Spoon the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a bit of space at the top, then seal immediately.
Allow jars to cool completely before storing them.
