Units
Scale
- 7 large chilies, stems removed
- 10 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 cups of tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilies, garlic, and chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet or place in a roasting pan, ensuring the ingredients are in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the chilies and tomatoes are softened and slightly charred, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer the roasted mixture to a food processor or blender.
- Add the raw sugar and salt to the mixture. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool before transferring to sterilized jars for storage.
Notes
This jam pairs wonderfully with crusty bread and cheese like ricotta or goat cheese. It can also be used as a topping for pasta. Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Adjust the number of chilies to control the heat level.
