I went crazy last night cooking!! We are preparing to head to Cape San Blas, Florida for a few days. Here's some food we are taking with use for lunches and snacks while we are there.
Hot Pepper Jelly

6 cups sugar
2 cup apple cider vinegar
6 smokin hot cayennes
6 oz pectin

In a pot add sugar, vinegar, and peppers to a boil. Boil for a few minutes to make sure all the sugar is disolved. Add pectin and bring back to a boil for 1 minute. Pour into mason jars. Makes 6 half pint jars. I used the hot water canning method.

Boiled Peanuts

Damm dude, you were busy! I'll take a turkey samwich with pepper jelly please.
I've never had boiled goobers before, kind of a staple from your neck of the woods. Did you spice'em up?

These turkey sandwiches are going to be epic! Georgia is the peanut capital of the world. I was eating boiled peanuts before I could walk. I did not spice up this batch, I got some weenys in the fam, but they would be really good with some hot sauce or powder in the water (note to self: DO THAT NEXT TIME!!!)

Damn scovie I wish I knew. I love them, my kids and I absolutely fight over them, especially when the bowl gets low.

Dawg, I learned a little boiled pnut trick from a roadside stand in the holler.
Throw in a bunch of dried chilies and a jar of whole dill pickles, not the juice, quartered roughly.
Gives them a nice flavor.
Trust. Give it a shot.
Have a safe trip.

I have never heard of that one. I will have to give that a try on a small batch. I'm not a pickles biggest fan, but I will try anything once.
 
If you drive by Lake Okeechobee, I might have to take ya bass fishing for 1 of those mason jars & a turkey sandwich, looks good, thx for recipes!!

Add whatever peppers you like the more the marrier, the hotter the better. I actually added more chopped peppers to the top of my cracker. I had to make the jelly with a light heat for the fam.
