One of the large baking brands companies in the UK (The Silver Spoon Company) has published a recipe for this jam Has anyone made it, and what did they think of it? Or have you used any other unconventional ingredients to make jam?
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500g Brussels sprouts (trimmed and washed)
- 1 Red onion
- 3 Red chilli (deseeded)
- Ginger (thumb sized, Fresh root ginger, Peeled)
- 4 Garlic clove(s) (peeled)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 100ml Red wine vinegar
- 1 Lemon(s) (zest and juice)
- 400g Unrefined golden caster sugar
- 50ml Pectin (certo)
- 10 Thyme (sprigs, Leaves only)
- Preheat the oven to 120°C, gas ½. Wash your jars, then place them on a baking tray and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, whizz together the chilli, onion, ginger and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion mixture for a few minutes. Now add the Brussels sprouts to the blender and whizz until finely chopped. Add this to the same pan, and cook, stirring for a further few minutes until they soften.
- Tip the cooked Brussels sprouts into a large heavy based pan, and add the rest of the ingredients, except for the thyme leaves. Bring to a simmer, then cook at a rolling boil for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. After about 10 minutes, add the thyme leaves and place a saucer in the fridge to chill. If the mixture is looking a bit dry and begins to stick to the base of the pan add some water in 100ml intervals. (I usually need to add about 300ml water in total).
- Turn off the heat, then drop a little jam onto a saucer. Place it in the fridge, wait a couple of minutes and see whether it has begun to set, in which case you can start filling your jars. (preferably using a funnel) If the jam hasn't quite set, put the jam to boil again and check for set after another 5 minutes.
