Sure, online videos pertaining to fiery foods are no new thing, but I’ve batted around the idea of something closer to a chile and hot sauce related television program for many a moon. I finally decided on a compromise of sorts; it would be a multi-segment video podcast hosted on YouTube. My “pilot” episode debuted a few weeks ago, and now that my yearly vacation (or as your Brits would call it, “going on holiday”) is mostly done, I can focus on creating a new video every week.

The Chilli Jam Company - Chillirissa
We have a jar of their Chillirissa, which is a mix of Onions, Sun Dired Tomatoes and Chillies with Garlic, sugar and spices, it was developed to be used in cooking to add both heat and flavour.
On opening the jar, the contents is a thick light red/orange paste with a lovely smell of garlic and onions, the taste is wonderfully hot and pungent, the initial taste is from the onions, quickly followed by the chilli and then the richness of the sun dried tomatoes, this leaves a beautiful flavour in the mouth, it is hot and rich and yes I am really enjoying this.
Ingredients:- Onions, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Fresh Red Chillies (12.5%), Garlic, Sugar, Spices and Salt.
This makes an great dip when added to yoghurt the same mix can even be used as a marinade, or how about just stuffing some under the skin of a chicken breast and roasting in the oven.
