APRICOT RED PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, chop apricots, peppers, and 1 3/4 cups of the vinegar until fruit and vegetables are finely ground. Pour into a heavy bottomed 8 to 10 quart pan.
• Rinse food processor / blender with the 1 1/2 cups water and remaining 3/4 cup vinegar, pour into pan. Stir in pectin, bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Quickly add sugar, still stirring. Return to a full rolling boil, then boil, stirring for 1 minute. (If using a 2 oz box of pectin, boil for 2 minutes.).
• Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Ladle hot jelly into prepared half pint jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.
• Or omit processing and ladle jelly into freezer jars or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace, apply lids. Let stand for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature, freeze or refrigerate.

APRICOT JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Place the jalapenos, pepper and vinegar in a blender (or food processor).
• Pulse until small chunks remain.
• Combine apricots, sugar and the pepper/vinegar mixture in a large saucepan.
• Bring to a boil; boil rapidly for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat; skim off any foam that forms.
• Allow mixture to cool for 2 minutes.
• Mix in the pectin.
• Pour into sterilized jars, seal and cool.
• (At this point I turn the sealed jars over several times as they cool for about 10 minutes at a time to keep the fruit nicely distributed in the jar).
• * Note; It is an excellent idea to wear rubber gloves when working with hot peppers, they otherwise may make the hands burn. And don't rub your eyes!
