JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

CRABAPPLE HOT PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine crabapples with water.
• Cover and bring slowly to simmer.
• Cook until crabapples are very soft.
• Pour into a colander lined with a square of dampened cheesecloth and placed over a deep bowl.

• Stir for 7 minutes to prevent floating peppers.
• Pour jelly into hot, sterilized 8-ounce canning jars.
• Seal with two-piece canning lids.
• Let cool, then refrigerate.
• For long-term unrefrigerated storage, process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes immediately after sealing jars.
• NOTE: To test for set, remove pan from heat.
• Dip a cold metal spoon into the liquid and hold well above the steam.
• Turn spoon sideways and let liquid run off.
• When it forms two drops that run together and drip from edge of spoon, jelling point has been reached.

JALAPEñO JELLY: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO MAKE AND CAN JARS

Steps:

• Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. (Do not boil.) Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
• Remove the stems of the jalapeños. Make the jalapeño jelly as spicy or mild as you want, by removing some or all of the seeds and veins.
• Using a food processor or blender, puree the jalapeños with 1 cup of the apple cider vinegar, until smooth. (Do not strain)
• Combine the puree, remaining 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and sugar in a large nonreactive pot, over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently with a spoon. Boil the mixture for 10 minutes.
• Cut pectin pouches open; place the pouches into empty glasses or mugs to hold, until needed.
• Add both pouches of pectin as quickly as possible. Squeeze entire contents from each of the two pouches. Continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly, but watching for foam.
• Remove from heat. Add food coloring, if using. Using a spoon, skim the foam if necessary.
• Using a ladle and canning funnel, ladle the hot jalapeño jelly into the prepared hot jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe the rim; center lid on the jar and apply band until fit is fingertip tight.
• Carefully place the jars into the boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. The lid should not flex up and down when center the center is pressed.

• Bring apples and water to boil in heavy large saucepan.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are falling apart, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Cool 30 minutes.
• Press apple mixture through fine strainer into heavy large saucepan.
• Puree green peppers and chilies with 2 cups sugar in processor or blender.
• Add to apples.
• Mix in remaining 3 cups sugar and vinegar.
• Boil over medium heat 10 minutes to blend flavors.
• Add pectin and boil exactly 2 minutes.

• Store in cool dry place.

APPLE JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Place the apples, water, vinegar, and jalapeno in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. As soon as the mixture boils, lower the heat to medium and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the apples soften.
• Remove the pan from heat. Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the liquid into a clean large, heavy saucepan, letting the apples drain, but do not press on them.
• When the liquid is extracted, discard the pulp.
• Add the sugar to the apple juice and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Remove from heat, add pectin, and stir well.
• Pour into 6 sterilized jars, seal, and store.

JALAPENO APPLE JELLY

Steps:

• 1. Wash all the fruit with mild soapy water and rinse. Remove the top of the peppers and any bad spots, cut them in half and remove all the seeds and put in a 6 or 8 cup measure. I used mini sweet peppers and green peppers because that is what I had in my garden. I used all colors.
• 2. Core the apples remove any bad spots and divide into 8 pieces and put in a bowl. Peel one good size orange keeping as much of the pith (white) as you can. Note: I left the peel in large pieces so the pith would not make the jelly bitter.
• 3. Measure out the water and vinegar. Using your blender grind up the fruit as small as you can using the vinegar water to help emulsify the fruits. Pour all of this into a LARGE pot.
• 4. Measure out the sugar and mix the pectin into it and set aside.
• 5. Place the pot of fruit on the stove over medium high heat. Stirring constantly bring it to a rolling boil.
• 6. Ladle the fruit and juice out of the pot and put it through a sieve pressing the fruit as you go to remove all the juice. Once the juice is out of the fruit discard the pulp and continue this process until all the fruit and juice have been separated. (If you want a clear jelly now is the time to strain the juice through a cheese cloth.) We like the extra texture of the fruit so we don't strain the juice.
• 7. Return the juice to the pot and stir in the sugar/pectin mixture. Add the food coloring to the shade desired. Bring to a rolling boil and cook until the juice is glossy. Turn off the heat. I always check the jell factor by placing a small amount in an ice water bath (see the picture) if it has not jelled enough I put it back on the heat to boil a little longer. Turn off the heat and pack into 6 8oz jars. Give or take a little. Put the sterile lids and rings on tightly and water bath as needed.
