Here's a great recipe from a very good customer for the cooking apple glut...
Easy Chilli Jam (makes about 6 jars)
8 cooking apples
4 medium red chillies (obviously a matter of taste - this version is fairly tame)
1-4 cloves garlic depending on taste, peeled
1 tin tomatoes
300g sugar
Blitz garlic and chillies (seeds in) in blender with tomatoes
Core apples, but don't peel them. Chop into quarters and then chop the quarters into four.
Bung everything except sugar into a big pan and bring to boil
Lower the heat and add the sugar, stirring til dissolved
Simmer gently til chillies are soft and it resembles jam. 30-40 mins ish.
If you don't want it too chunky use a hand blender to smooth it.
It is more of a chutney than a jam I suppose. We like it with cheese or ham :-)
Thanks Sarah!
