Mix Citrus Ginger and Chili marmalade together? Well, it really depends on how spicy you want the jam to be. It also depends on what type of chilies you are using. Go for all the chilies and peppers that you know, but be careful or the sting will be all over the place, specially with the Habanero chili. The result, however, is a heavenly mix of sweet and spice. The instant appreciation will be your reward.
And as with many jams, they are so versatile. Serve as a condiment with toast, as a sandwich spread with smoked turkey, as a sauce for grilled or blackened chicken or pork chops, or as an appetizer topping with cheese and crackers as I’ve done here.
Clean thoroughly and/or sterilize the jars
If bacteria enter the jam, it can start to mold very quickly. Therefore, clean/sterilize the jars before filling them with the jam.
Then fill the jars all the way up with jam and close the lid while they are still hot, so a vacuum is formed. Avoid fingers both on the inside of the jars and in the jam.
Alternative jam for your cheese plate or sandwich, try the Cherry jam.
