...or jam, if you prefer.   (Nigella calls it jelly, so I will too).

I've recovered from the cooker incident and just finished decanting the jelly into sterilised jars.  It filled exactly 12 of them.




If you'd like a jar, do let me know.  I don't think G and I will get through all 12.  (Assuming it tastes the same as the last batch, It tastes like sweet chilli sauce, except thicker.  It has a nice chilli kick and goes with pretty much anything... meat, fish, cheese - or dolloped into a sandwich).

While I was waiting for it to cool, I had a last minute dither about who I should vote for on Thursday.  So I did some questionnaires on the interwebs to help me work out who actually matches what I care about.   It was remarkably helpful....   would recommend doing likewise if you are in any way a-dither.  Or even if you're not - it might surprise you.

Bimey, it's almost 10pm.  Better get some dinner...



EDIT:  Bugger!  Under the Trade Descriptions Act, I really ought to change the name of this post to "Sauce!".  Having just slathered it all over my lunch, it appears that what I have made is not so much "jelly" as sweet chilli sauce.  I think this is due to the aforementioned cooker incident stealing my pectin.  Have sought advice from the ladies of the loos...

Awesome! I can't comment on the contents, of course, but the photo is great. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Thank you! (If I meet up with Jane I can always leave a jar for you with her)

Oh no, don't worry - I would not dream of stealing it from you! I shall just experience it vicariously through your photos and descriptions. :-)

It was delicious last time, so I wouldn't say no to more... :-)

Yum! Sounds like it would be lovely slathered over a quorn fillet.

It would definitely go well on quorn. And sausages... burgers... cold, dipped roasties...

Barring puddings, I'm having trouble thinking of a single foodstuff that does not taste better when slathered in sweet chilli sauce :-)

You sure it wouldn't work with ice cream? ;-)

Actually I'm not remotely sure. I think it needs testing...

Hmm, maybe with chocolate, or just plain vanilla...
