[Bradh728]

Here is the base method... However I used ZERO green peppers and a LOT of Fatalii!!!!!.............. a LOT!

After I strained the pulp I then added a handfull of Datil AND fatalii AND a few red Caribbean habs for color.
Then I boiled, added pectin and sugar etc.


WOW... when I say this stuff has some VERY concentrated flavor ... I mean it!! WOW... VERY , VERY tasty
Then, WHAT HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOO good on crackers with cream cheese!

that is a beautiful color, the only pepper jams we get here are usually sweet dumbed down peppers!

Brad... this ain't no dumbed down version... 1/2 a tsp on a cracker with cream cheese gives me the hiccups!!!!



I made a salmon glaze with it tonight!
Very versatile!

Can you substitute arrowroot for the pectin? I have a bunch I need to use.

Yes you can but you must use the correct amount of sugar to both activate the pectin and make it safe.
