Tomato Chilli Jam is a versatile condiment that brings a delightful balance of sweetness and heat to your dishes. Made from cherry tomatoes, white wine vinegar, caster sugar, and a hint of chilli flakes, this jam offers a unique blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavours. Its vibrant red colour and thick, glossy texture make it as visually appealing as it is delicious.
This jam is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, adding a burst of flavour wherever it’s used. Spread it on toast or crackers for a simple yet flavourful snack, or use it as a glaze for roasted meats like chicken or pork, where it caramelizes into a sticky, spicy coating. It’s also excellent when served alongside cheeses, particularly sharp or creamy varieties, creating a perfect contrast of flavours.
For those who enjoy a touch of heat, Tomato Chilli Jam can elevate your breakfast by dolloping it onto scrambled eggs or avocado toast. It also works wonderfully as a dipping sauce for fried foods or as a topping for burgers, bringing a sweet-spicy kick that complements the savoury elements. Whether used sparingly or generously, this jam adds a delicious twist to both everyday meals and special occasions.

I added a little to my cold meats dish and it transformed it. Using it often but it does have quite a kick.
It’s great on grilled meats, and my family loves it with cheese platters.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but this jam exceeded my expectations.
I’ve used it on everything from crackers to burgers, and it always delivers a burst of flavor. The chili flakes give it a nice warmth without being overpowering.
I’ve used it as a topping for burgers and as a dip for chicken wings.
The sweetness of the tomatoes pairs perfectly with the spicy kick from the chili flakes.
I’ve started adding it to my roasted vegetables, and it’s been a hit.
I’m not usually a fan of spicy foods, but this jam is just right. It’s sweet, tangy, and has a gentle heat that makes it addictive.
Bang goes the pickles in sandwiches. Everyone want s this jam now.
