For a big jar you need:

3 medium red chillies, roughly chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 large thumb-size pieces of fresh ginger (about 60g), roughly chopped
1kg ripe tomatoes (about 8 medium tomatoes), halved
4 lime leaves: scissored into thin strips.
450g demerara sugar
3 tbsp Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
120ml red wine vinegar
Add lime juice if you feel like it.

  • Slip into chicest grey Prada leisure suit.
  • Pour a huge wine and gulp. It’s the weekend and you made it.
  • Slide into Isabel Marant birks
  • Now find the whizzer and a saucepan
  • Throw the chillies, garlic, lime leaves and ginger into the bowl of a food processor, then blitz until finely chopped and as small as your discipline.
  • Add the tomatoes and blitz until you have a smooth mixture. As smooth as a Celine bag.
  • Transfer it all , not including Celine, to a large saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Stir in the sugar, Thai fish sauce, balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar.
  • Pour another wine.
  • Bring to the boil, stirring regularly, then reduce the heat and keep at a steady simmer for 45 minutes or until the jam has reduced by half its volume.
  • If only you could reduce your volume by half by simmering.
  • Stir every 5-10 minutes so the jam doesn’t catch and burn at the bottom of the pan.
  • Let it cool and then transfer to sterilised jars.
  • Cool completely before sealing and placing in the fridge
  • Delicious !
