Is there a recipe for this jelly??? I have never made a jelly and you made it sound simple. Please share the recipe....family doesn't know to beware of jelly hehehe
okay. i'll try but this may not be exact as i usually just throw some stuff together:
ingredients:
1 pound smoked habaneros - mine were frozen from last fall. deseeded for the most part, membranes intact
20 or so ounces of raspberries - i used a bit over 3 6 ounces containers
1/2 - 1 teaspoon trinidad volcano chile powder
7 cups sugar
1 package pectin
3/4 cup cider vinegar (i'm sure that you can use white but i happened to have cider)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon butter
Put the habaneros, raspberries, vinegar, and lemon juice in food processor. process until smooth.
Put mixture into pan and bring to boil.
Cover pan and let simmer 15 - 20 minutes.
Mix about 1/4 cup of the sugar with the pectin.
Stir the sugar/pectin mix and the butter into the habanero/raspberry mixture and bring to full boil.
Stir in balance of sugar (dump in quickly), and chile powder.
Bring back to rolling boil.
When at rolling boil, let it boil for 1 minute - stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
Check for consistency - take a spoon and put in ice water. then put some of the jelly on the spoon. when i cools it should be to consistency you like - this won't take long.
If necessary, add more pectin following steps above with bringing to rolling boil and letting cook 1 minute.
Transfer into jars and process per canning instructions.
I washed the bottles, lids, and rings - then boiled the them - after putting jelly in jars, i sealed tightly and then boiled the jars with the jelly for 5 minutes.
Let cool and enjoy.
