Recipe Description

In some ways, this recipe should be called Zucchini and Chilli Jam because zucchinis are a large part of the recipe too! At the end of every summer, when I visit my parents’ house I leave with a large bag of home grown veggies and there are always a few zucchinis in the bag. I use them to make a batch of this jam.

This recipe couldn’t be easier to make – simply boil the ingredients for about an hour until thick. Transfer to sterilized jars for storing. It can also be eaten immediately if you just can’t wait to try it!

To make Chilli Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
