I do recommend wearing gloves. This is sweet & spicy so beware. This is great served over cream cheese.Try adding it to your favorite barbecue sauce for a little extra kick. Spread it on your sandwiches. I've added it to salsas. You can also make this with jalapenos and green bell pepper to get a milder jelly.As in the picture. Some recipes using the jelly!

I make large batches of this (by popular demand!) for Christmas baskets. You can make it as hot or mild as you like but I use at least 4 habaneros. Pour it over a block of softened cream cheese and serve with crackers; use as a glaze for ham or pork; great on a ham sandwich.

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 4 oz. jars

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -5 habanero peppers, deseeded and membranes removed (Be sure to wear gloves when doing this... those babies are HOT. And don't touch your eyes or mouth b)
2 sweet red peppers
1 sweet green pepper
12 ounces frozen raspberries, defrosted and put through a food mill with fine disc

Steps:

  • Chop up peppers in a processor until they are chopped fine. Put all but ¼ cup peppers in a saucepan with raspberries and water. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook 15 minutes. Press through a sieve or a jelly bag. You should have 2 cups prepared juice. (Sometimes I have more juice than needed so I freeze it for another batch).

HABANERO APRICOT JELLY



Habanero Apricot Jelly image

This is adapted from the "Habanero Gold" recipe, which can be found in the Ball Blue Book of Preserving. I use fewer habaneros, as I grow my own and they are extremely hot, much hotter than those you would find in a grocery store, and it also omits the onion found in the "Habanero Gold" recipe. Use this as you would use any pepper jelly - over cream cheese, with other cheeses, as a glaze for chicken or other meats. Since this jelly does not have onion or garlic in it, it also makes a nice, spicy PB&J. I like to use a food processor to mince the apricots and peppers, because it does a nice job of getting them small enough, but doesn't turn them into mush. Finely mincing the apricots and peppers allows them to stay suspended throughout the jelly, instead of floating to the top of the jar. You could also use a blender, but if you are not careful the apricots and peppers could get too mushed up and turn into a puree. The idea of this jelly is to have nice small bits of apricot and pepper suspended throughout the jelly. A note on pectin amount: I use one 3 ounce packet of Certo liquid pectin, which results in a nice soft jelly - it is set, but if you shake the jar the jelly will wiggle a little. If you want a really firm jelly, like the kind you would buy in a store, use two 3 ounce packets of Certo. Some people like a really loose, almost pourable jelly to use over cream cheese, brie, or to use as a thick dipping sauce - if this is what you're after, use just half of a 3 ounce packet of Certo. Use a large stainless steel stock pot to make this - twice as large as what you'd think you would need. When the mixture reaches a full boil, it more than doubles in size, and if your pot is too small you will have a big, sugary mess to clean up off your stovetop. Always wear rubber gloves when working with hot peppers. The "5 hours" prep time includes the time needed to soak the apricots in the vinegar.

Time 5h5m

Yield 6 half pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup diced dried apricot
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
4 habanero peppers, diced
6 cups white sugar
1 (3 ounce) packet certo liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Using a food processor, finely mince the diced apricots.
  • Place the apricots in a large stainless steel stockpot, add the vinegar and cover. Let the apricots soak in the vinegar for at least 4 hours (can be left to sit overnight if you'd like, but 4 hours will do the trick).
  • Using a food processor, finely mince the red bell pepper and habanero peppers.
  • Place the apricots, vinegar, peppers, and sugar in a large stainless steel stockpot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to make sure all the sugar dissolves.
  • Once the mixture has reached a full rolling boil (a boil you can not stir down), it will double in size. Stirring constantly, keep at a full boil for one minute.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in pectin and continue to stir for 3 minutes - this helps to evenly distribute the apricot and pepper pieces throughout the jelly.
  • Ladle the jelly into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with damp paper towels to remove any jelly which got on the rims or the threads. Place the lids and the bands on the jars, just tightening the bands fingertip tight.
  • Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes, then remove and let sit, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours before checking seals. It is important to let them sit undisturbed for 12 hours because the sealing compound on the lids is still cooling and hardening, completing the seal. While the jars cool, you will hear a "plink" type sound from each jar - this is the jars completing the vacuum seal as the final air escapes the jar. After 12 hours have passed, remove the bands and check the lids - press down in the center of the lid. If you cannot push the lid down any further, the jar is sealed. If the lid "gives" a bit, and you can push it down, the jar did not seal. You can either put the band back on the jar, and reprocess it for another 5 minutes, or you can just put it in the fridge and use it within 3 months.

HABANERO APPLE JELLY



Habanero Apple Jelly image

Original recipe called for 1 cup cranberries to help it gel and for color. I didn't have any. It is a beautiful light pink and gelled well without. I also made fruit leather out of the leftover pulp mixed with one cup of sugar.

Provided by Jean Ray

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 13h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lb tart apples
6 habanero chilies
1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 c white vinegar
3 c water
3 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Quarter apples. Don't peel and don't remove core. Add all ingredients except the sugar. Bring to boil and then simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a potato masher to make the consistency of runny applesauce. Don't worry about the peels.
  • 2. Suspend a colander, sieve, or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Spoon in the apple mixture. Let drain overnight. For clear jelly, just let it drain. If you squeeze, it will be cloudy.
  • 3. For 4 cups of juice, use 3.5 cups sugar (7/8 cup per cup of juice). Boil juice and sugar to 220 degrees. Ladle into sterilzed jars and seal with your method of choice.

HOT AS HELL HABANERO ZUCCHINI JELLY



Hot As Hell Habanero Zucchini Jelly image

Talk about a face mask! This will melt your face off! Dare you try I hope you have a stomach of steel. My husband has been asking for a very hot jelly. My other jelly recipes are not hot enough for him. He asked for it and he got it. He loves it. I don't know who else would try it. Maybe Mean Chef? I don't know it's really really hot. The zucchini is in there because of the abundance in the garden and it makes a great filler. Now you can use this as a ingredient in BBQ sauces or glazes for chicken or pork. Spread it on cream cheese and serve with crackers. Add a touch to a salad dressing for a kick. It's really endless just use it as a seasoning. A good gift for those that can handle it!

APRICOT HABANERO JELLY

I make this with fresh Habaneros from the garden. A great way to use up extra peppers. Enjoy with cream cheese and crackers, or as a glaze for meats.

Provided by TJW2725

Categories     Low Protein

Time 25m

Yield 24 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 whole habanero peppers
1 cup cider vinegar
1 fresh mango, peeled, and seeded
1/2 cup apricot nectar
1/2 cup orange juice
6 cups sugar
1 (1/3 ounce) package Certo

Steps:

  • Cut off stem ends of peppers and blend together with 1/2 of the vinegar, peppers, mango, and the juices.
  • DO NOT stick your nose in the blender and take a whiff after you open it.
  • In fact, open the windows in the kitchen when making this, and avoid sniffing the fumes from the blender, or pot while it is cooking.
  • Bring the rest of the vinegar and sugar to a boil, add the contents from the blender and bring to a boil for two minutes.
  • Add the certo and bring to a boil again.
  • Skim , pour into jars and seal.
  • Let cool upside down, so the seal becomes vacuum packed.
  • Makes about 24 oz of jelly.
  • ** My recipe states one package Certo, I can't buy it here in Germany, as we have sugar for making jams which includes pectin, and you just add one part sugar, one part fruit mixture. As such, I have guessed the .3 ounces of Certo. Just use one package and it should be ok.

HABANERO PEPPER JELLY



Habanero Pepper Jelly image

Blazing hot pepper jelly is addictive if you can handle it! The grated carrot adds nice color and texture. Pepper hotness and people's tolerance varies, so you'll have to experiment to find the right number to add. If chopping habaneros by hand, rubber gloves are recommended since the habanero peppers will burn the skin.

Time 4h50m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 half pint canning jars with lids and rings
1 ½ cups cider vinegar
6 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup shredded carrot
½ cup minced red bell pepper
15 habanero peppers, seeded and minced
2 (3 ounce) pouches liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Stir the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in the carrot and red bell pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the habanero peppers and simmer 5 minutes longer. Pour in the pectin, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim and discard any foam from the jelly.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pour the jelly into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

PINEAPPLE HABANERO PEPPER JELLY

Make and share this Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly recipe from Food.com.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     Jellies

Time 40m

Yield 6 (1/2 pints)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 red jalapeno chiles (seeds removed if desired)
4 -6 habanero peppers (seeds removed if desired)
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon butter (to prevent foaming)
2 (3 fluid ounce) envelopes liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Sterilize jars and lids according to safe canning practices.
  • Place peppers in a blender with the apple cider vinegar and pulse until peppers are minced.
  • Pour the pepper-vinegar mixture into a saucepan. Add sugar, pineapple juice, salt and butter. Stir well until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
  • Add the liquid pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down with a spoon. Boil for 1 full minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Skim off any foam. Ladle jam into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8-inch of the top. Wipe jar rims and threads with a clean cloth or paper towel. Carefully place the flat lid on the glass rim; screw on the band. Place jars on elevated canner rack. Lower rack into canner. Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; add more boiling water if needed. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Process the jars for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the jars from the canner and sit them on a dishcloth on the counter. After jars cool, check seals by pressing the middle of the lid with your finger. If the lid springs back, the lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.

Tips:

  • Choose the right habaneros: Look for ripe, plump habaneros that are brightly colored. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling habaneros: Habaneros contain capsaicin, a compound that can cause skin irritation. Gloves will help protect your hands.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the habaneros: This will help reduce the heat of the jelly. If you want a hotter jelly, leave some of the seeds and ribs in.
  • Use a food processor to puree the habaneros: This will make it easier to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Cook the jelly over medium heat: This will help prevent the jelly from scorching.
  • Stir the jelly constantly: This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Test the jelly for doneness: The jelly is done when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Pour the jelly into jars: Leave 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath: This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

Habanero jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a spicy kick to sandwiches, burgers, and tacos. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken, fish, and pork. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to add some heat to your meals, habanero jelly is a great option. Just be sure to wear gloves when handling the habaneros, and start with a small amount of jelly to test the heat level.
