Follow Andy Waters' simple ginger jam recipe and you will be left with a ready-made accompaniment that will keep for a few months. It is the perfect partner to white fish and also goes nicely with chicken and pork.
Place the ginger in a saucepan with the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 30-45 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the minced chilli 10 minutes before taking off the heat
