Chile Jam

12 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved

2 ripe tomatoes

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 green apple, finely grated

½ cup red wine vinegar

½ cup white sugar

Preheat oven to Broil.

Lay the peppers, cut side down, on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until skin turns black. Remove from the oven and cover with a kitchen towel; allow to cool.

Cut a small X in the base of the tomatoes. Place in a small bowl, cover with boiling water, and set aside for 2 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel skin from peppers and tomatoes; chop flesh finely.

In a medium saucepan combine onion, apple, vinegar and sugar with tomatoes and peppers. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
