Sweet pepper jam

Ingredients

• 1 kg red and yellow bell peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder

Step-by-step preparation

1. In a large pot, mix the peppers, sugar, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper and chili powder.
2. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 60–90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft and the mixture has thickened and reduced to a jam.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth.
6. Pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal the lids tightly.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until completely cool and ready to serve.
