ingredients

900g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
600g over ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
20 large red chillies, trimmed and roughly chopped
5 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
3 tbsp grated ginger
900g caster sugar
250ml rice wine vinegar

Method

Puree the strawberries, tomatoes, chillies, garlic and ginger in a food processor or blender until you have a rough puree.
Place the puree in a large saucepan with the sugar and vinegar. Slowly bring to the boil stirring regularly with a wooden spoon. When boiling reduce to a steady simmer and leave to cook for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Skimming the top of any scum that comes to the top and stir regularly.
When ready the jam should have thickened to a thick sauce consistency. Remove from the heat and pour into sterilised jars. When at room temperature store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Unopened the jam will keep for at least 3 months.
