I noticed this recipe while adding [[Quick Cornbread Recipe]] from [[Nik and Edwina's Cookbook]]
It looks a great way to utilise the glut of [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] you get each year. It's just a shame that all my garden tomatoes have finished for this year, I guess I'll have to wait another year now.

To quote Nik or Edwina: "''This makes about a litre, so you'll need two 500ml or four 250 ml [[Kilner|kilner]] or [[Jam|jam]] jars. It makes a lovely clear jelly which packs a fair [[Punch|punch]] in terms of [[Chilli|chilli]], which will keep up to 6 months if stored somewhere cool, assuming you don't demolish it like we do. You'll need either a large square of [[Muslin|muslin]] or fine cotton, or a [[Jelly bag|jelly bag]], and some string for the straining part. This lovely stuff goes well with many things, [[Sausages|sausages]], a slice of toast, [[Cheese|cheese]] and biscuits, even a full English breakfast, we feel sure you'll find more...''"

{{RecipeIngredients
| 1.3 kg [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], halved
| 3 unwaxed [[Lemons|lemons]], roughly chopped, skin on
| 6 [[Red chillies|red chillies]] (the larger less hot ones), deseeded; 1 roughly chopped, 5 very thinly sliced
| 650g [[preserving sugar]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Place the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], [[Lemons|lemons]] and the roughly chopped [[Chili|chili]] and 450 ml water in a large saucepan. Bring to the [[Boil|boil]], cover and cook very gently for 40 minutes
| Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Line a large mixing bowl with [[Muslin|muslin]], with the edges overhanging the edge of a bowl. Ladle in the cooked [[Tomato|tomato]] pulp and juices, and gather together the edges of the muslin and tie up with string. Hang the muslin bag from a hook or cupboard handle with a bowl underneath to catch the juices. Leave for a least 2 hours (it can be left overnight)
| [[Sterilise]] the jars by placing them in a 160C [[Oven|oven]] for 30 minutes
| Measure the [[Juice|juice]] and return to the cleaned pan, adding 325g [[Preserving|preserving]] [[Sugar|sugar]] for every 500ml juice. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil and stir in the finely sliced [[Chillies|chillies]]. [[Boil]] rapidly for 20-30 minutes or until setting point is reached. (To test this, put a teaspoon of the mixture onto a cool saucer and [[Refrigerate|refrigerate]] for 2 minutes. Push the edges, if they wrinkle, it's ready. If not boil for a few minutes longer and test again)
| Leave the jelly to stand for 15 minutes, then ladle into the [[Sterilised jars|sterilised jars]] and put lids on
