Fresh Chillies

I have about 6 sandwich bags full of assorted chillies in the freezer. Does anyone have any recipes to use them up please. Ta

Crikey you can put chillies in almost anything except Pikelets. Just grab an Asian cook book. Hope they are hot ones.

Oh Love them.you can put them in anything, but remember the seeds are really hot.

Thanks I know you can put them in lots of things, but only one person eats them. What I am after is a chutney or relish etc that uses a lot in one go or they are going to be in my freezer for years to come.

I use them in tomato relish. Theres a good recipe in the edmonds cook book. The one with brown sugar is the nicest.
My first time I used them I had very sore hands afterwards so now use disposable gloves when cutting up and NO seeds used

Here is the famous chilli sauce recipe

30 chillies

4 red capsicums

3 cups sugar

1 pint white vinegar

Juice of 3 lemons

2 inches fresh ginger

3 tsp salt

500 gms apples

500 gms onions

Mince or process fruit and vegetables in food processor.Cook all ingredients together until tender, about 1 hour.Bottle and cover when cold.

Alternatively, adjust quantities to suit yourself!Don’t add too many extra chilli seeds unless you need a good clean out.

This one is my very favourite one.depending on how many chillies you add/or add an extra apple or including or leave out the seeds you can vary the hotness.we use this recipe to make a mild chilli sauce all the way up ot what we call "bum burner".Lasts for ages. I put a spoonful into just about everything from soups, casseroles, mince dishes, its very yummy.

Thanks thats just what I was after, does it matter if I have a mixture of chilli types and do you leave the seeds in.

Chilli jam - yummo!
kiwigoldie, Feb 26, 1:54am
it doesn't matter what type of chillies and if you leave the seeds in in will make it even hooer so that is personal preference

Quick question kiwigoldie, is that 2 and a half pounds of sugar, that's an awful lot when I look at it. Ta

From experience last week, don't rub your eyes afteryou've cut them & think I've washed my hands so will be ok. Stays on your fingers. I have Chilli Peppers. They are good
