Red Pepper 'jam' from the UK Thermomix site
« on: September 23, 2010, 01:43:13 pm »
600g red peppers cut into quarters, stems and seeds removed
200g sugar
100g white wine vinegar
50g water

Chop the peppers 5 seconds/speed 4.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula, add the sugar, vinegar and water.
Cook 35 minutes/varoma temp/speed 1/reverse. Replace the MC with the steaming basket so that the jam will reduce as it cooks.
Pour into a serving dish or into a sterilised jar. Makes 850g.  Refrigerate and use within 3 weeks.

I made this to serve with philly cheese & camembert on a cheese/cracker platter.  Have frozen some small tubs for later.

Hi Judy

I tried this a few weeks ago - you don't get a huge amount of 'jam' but only need it in small amounts at a time. I thought it was almost too sweet and that the red pepper flavour was a bit lost. It certainly goes well with savouries such as cheese (rather like quince paste does). Easy to cook and would make a good Christmas hamper addition.

Guess you could use less sugar then Bonsai.  I rather liked it against the bland taste of philly cream cheese.  I know Andie has mixed it with philly for a dip so the more cream cheese to jam ratio you have, the less sweet it probably tastes.

It's a beautiful colour.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
