Three hot prods
The ultimate store cupboard ingredient
for Christmas is the 'honey pot' shaped
Chilli Jam made from mixed blend of
chillies, caramelised sweet peppers and
red onions, lemon juice and sugar. It's
Chilli Drinking Chocolate is an Aztec style
hot chocolate giving twice the warmth of
a regular hot chocolate. It's Extreme Bhut
Jolokia sauce is perfect for serious chilli
heads, this Extreme sauce is made simply
from Bhut Jolokia chillies (similar to that
of Habanero chillies), red peppers, cider
vinegar, lemon juice and a little salt. A
bottle of this lasts a very long time!
