Ok, so before I forget what I put in this jam I figured I better post it here!
2 pounds strawberries
2 pounds white grapes
Couple tablespoons raw honey
Approximately 12 cups of sugar
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup lime juice
Pack of pectin
8 reapers, 4 ghosts,
4 Caribbean red habs, 3 ripe jalapenos
I think that's it, watched a Peter s video and basically followed his technique, except I simmered it for probably ten minutes cause it seemed so runny, then I added the last couple cups of sugar and simmered some more while I watched his video again and decided I better just jar the stuff. Got 22 little jars and a big pickle jar full, then mixed the last 4-5 spoonfuls with cream cheese and ate it on Ritz crackers, it was way better than I could have ever imagined!
I hadn't bought this phone tester yet when I made the jam, do you guys think I had enough acid and sugar in there for food safety?
Ok then I made some hot sauce as well!
1 pineapple, well not the core or peel lol
Pink Himalayan and sea salt, 6 tbsp I think
2 cups apple cider vinegar
4 cups white vinegar
Little over 1 cup lime juice
And a big pile of reapers, habs, ghosts and dragon cayenne.
And a couple spoonfuls of that raw unfiltered honey
It turned out really good, and really hot. I was thinking about adding sugar to it but I ended up leaving it like this.
The pH of this was 2.8 when I tested it, I need some calibration solution so that I can test it again now that it has set for a week or so.
Well thanks for stopping by guys, I will try to take some pictures of this salsa when I make it tomorrow. I peeled about 5 quarts of tomatoes today, and have about 5 frozen. Should be a decent batch or two of salsa.
Thanks for stopping by guys!
