Chilli Jam With Yellow Peppers

Our answer

Nigella's Chilli Jam (from Christmas and on the Nigella website) is made with red chillies and red capsicum (bell/sweet) peppers. This is partly for the festive colour. If you are using yellow chilli peppers then it would be possible to use yellow capsicum peppers instead, for a yellow jam. Or you could use a mixture of red and orange capsicum peppers with the yellow chillies to give a multi-coloured jam.

We would however avoid using green chillies and capsicum peppers for the jam as these tend to discolour during cooking. We feel that a khaki-coloured chilli jam would not have the same appeal as the vibrant red, or sunny yellow.
