What Is The Correct Weight Of Chillies For Chilli Jam?

Our answer

Nigella's Chilli Jam (from NIGELLA CHRISTMAS) is actually a spicy condiment that is good with cheeses and cold cuts, or in sandwiches. It is a fiery, festive red colour thanks to a combination of fresh red chillies and red sweet (bell) peppers.

In the ingredients list for the recipe it gives the unprepared weight of both the chillies (150g/5 ounces) and bell peppers (5 ounces). You will need to remove the stems, seeds and any white membrane from the chillies and peppers before you finely chop them in the food processor or by hand. So the prepared weight will be slightly less than this.
