Method
- Put the cumin and coriander seeds in a small frying pan and toast over a low heat for 1 minute, then crush in a pestle and mortar.
- Put the tomatoes and onions in a wide pan with the garlic, chillies and ginger. Add the spices, vinegar and sugar. Bring to the boil, then simmer until reduced to a jam-like consistency. Add the fish sauce and cook for 2 more minutes before spooning into sterilised jars (see tips).
- Seal the jars while hot, then allow to cool completely before labelling and storing. Tastes fantastic with cheese and home-made biscuits.

how long can the tom & chilli jam be kept for
Hi Nicola, Store the chutney in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and it will keep for up to 3 months. Chill after opening and use within 1 months. Hope that helps
