These are great to make ahead of time and get the kids involved in the construction! Chef Massimo Mele has treated us to his own chilli jam recipe here and recommends making an even bigger batch so you can store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container. Use it as a great spicy seafood topping or to mix through salads for a bit of an extra kick!
