1.5 medium red chillies - deseeded and roughly chopped,

2 cloves of garlic - roughly chopped,
1 inch (2.5 cm) root ginger - peeled and roughly chopped,
1 tbs. fish sauce (omit for vegetarians),
8 oz (225g) honey (originally this was demerara sugar),
2 fl, oz. (55 ml) red wine vinegar,
1 tbs. balsamic vinegar

Method: Roughly chop the tomatoes (you can leave the skins on). Put half in the blender with chillies, garlic, ginger and fish sauce (if using).
Whiz until pureed then put in a pan. Pulse the rest of the tomatoes (or chop a bit finer) and add them to the pan. Add all of the other ingredients and bring to the boil slowly stirring all the time.

You also need to scrape the sides of the pan every so often to make sure everything gets properly cooked. It will reduce by about half and look shiny and like a runny jam. It won't do the set test like fruit jams so don't bother. Pour into hot sterilized jars and
