Try this piquant jam with a kick from Tamasin Day-Lewis. A real favourite with cheeses or as a delicious dip served with crackers
Ingredients
- 500g very ripe Tomatoes
- 4 cloves Garlic, peeled
- 4 red chillies
- 2 tsp finely chopped Ginger
- 30ml Fish Sauce
- 300g golden caster sugar
- 100ml red wine vinegar
Method
1. Dice half the quantity of tomatoes.2. Blend the whole tomatoes in a food processor along with the garlic, chillies, ginger and fish sauce until the mixture reaches a pureé consistency.
2. Pour the mixture into a deep heavy-based pan together with the sugar and vinegar. Bring to the boil and slowly stir.
3. Once the mixture has reached boiling point, reduce to a simmer and add the remaining diced tomatoes.
4. Skim off any scum that forms with a metal spoon and cook for 30 -40 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the mixture into a warmed sterilised jar. Seal while still warm and label the jars when cold. Alternatively pour on a glass serving dish and allow to cool before serving.

My comments below - forgot to rate it! Full 5 stars from me!
This is a fantastic recipe. I get asked for orders all the time. It doesnt set too well unless you really boil it. Jam sugar may help the setting process. Great with Doritos and cheese & crackers.
I've replaced the fish sauce with chicken stock, still making it , it smells good, hope it tastes as good.
i am thinking of making this jam for christmas presents but want to make it far in advance, how long does it keep for?

Love the idea of this recipe, but being a vegetarian,nearly a vegan, wanted to know if the fish sauce could be replaced with some other ingredient or sauce. Many thanks, Bhavna
I can't get this to set. The first time it was like water I then added more sugar and reboiled it. It is now thicker but still runny any suggestions please?
DELICIOUS! But I found it makes half a litre (not a litre like it says). Also, I couldn't get fish sauce so i used soy sauce instead and it works a treat!
Absolutely divine. Nothing on earth that I have tasted matches this. Have made jars and given to friends all have the same comment - DIVINE.
Everyone loves this. Great with almost everything!
To die for. Top marks.
This is absolutely fantastic with strong cheddar, or with bagels, cream cheese and ham - heaven!!
This is so quick and easy to make. It is absolutely delicious.
