Habanero Jelly

[rbduck]

Found this on another site. It actually called for cayenne peppers but I didn`t

have enough. Turned out great.

Servings

3 x 250ml

jars

Ingredients

* 1/3 cup sliced dry apricots

* 3/4 cup white

vinegar

* 1/4 cup finely diced sweet orange pepper (you can use a red or a

yellow too!)

* 1/4 cup finely diced red onion

* 1/4 cup diced cayenne

pepper

* 3 cups sugar

* 1 pouch Bernardin liquid pectin (if you use

another brand, it’s 85 ml)

* 3 glass jars (250ml)

Directions

*

Start by washing vegetables and jars.

* In a large pot, boil water. Boil your

(Mason) jars to sterilize them. Turn off the heat. Leave the jars in water until

use.

* In a pot, soak the apricots in vinegar for 4 hours.

* Add peppers,

onion and sugar to the vinegar’s mixture. Mix.

* Over high heat bring mixture

to a full boil that can’t be stirred down. Now you can add the liquid pectin.

Boil hard for 1 minute and stir constantly.

* Remove from heat (you can skim

off foam if there’s some)

* Pour the jelly in the jars. Be careful not to

overfill. Leave 1 cm (half inch) of space.

* With a wooden stick, remove all

air bubbles in the jars.

* Put the lid, but do not overtighten.

* In a pot

of water, put the jars and boil the water. For 250ml jars, it takes about 10

minutes.

* Remove from water, place on a cloth and stop touching them.

*

Wait to hear a POP to tighten the lid completely. (If the jar does not POP, do

again the step in the water.)

* Wait until the jars are room temperature

before storing.

*Enjoy!

i'd try it out but i only planted jalapeno plants in the garden this year. suppose it'd work with them too probably be a little more mild though.
