Mikey B Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 If I wanted to add fruit to the chilli jam can I just substitute part of the weight of chilli? like maybe 100g of fruit to 50g of chilli and come out with a fruity jam that has a little heat to it?

Mikey B Yes mate...just be mindful of the total weight of fruit/chilli with the pectin amount. Also what fruit you will use, as they all have different pectin levels...this will affect the set...too much pectin will set the jam like a jelly... .what do you have in mind. Ice.

Ice. \\\\s recipe i have for my bread maker (which also makes jam) Redcurrents roughly mashed 330g Root ginger grated 4cm Chillies finely chopped (2) Sugar 150g Powdered pectin 3 g Put all ingredients bar sugar and pectin in then top with the sugar and pectin. 1. hr 40 on menu 26 for panasonic sd 2501 This is a soft set jam Edited April 28, 2020 by Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 25 minutes ago, Justin said: Redcurrents roughly mashed 330g Red Currants possess equal amounts of pectin and acidity, so should set well, without the need of pectin. The basic's of jam making is the weight of fruit you have along with the same weight of sugar....your bread maker recipe calls for less than 50%?? but hey go with it mate and see what happens...it could be the extra pectin they want you to use that will help the set but then with less sugar will not be too sweet?

Mikey B Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I wanted to have a go at making a Mango/Habanero, I like watching TRoy cooks and he uses a Texas Rib candy that he says is his favourite. So I thought I’d like to try that on some ribs too. if that comes out ok then I might try mixing up a few other things later on.
