I followed this recipe:   http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipes/orange-chili-marmalade   Except for the part about the peppers...  It calls for three dried habaneros to be boiled with the oranges for a half hour.  I threw in about a dozen dried ghost peppers for the whole time and then removed...

I like seeing the Ninja in the background.  Confirms my choice when I see them in everyone's posts.   Color coordinated ferments huh, must be a new trend.  Sounds like they will be tasty!   -Alden
