ORANGE PEPPER JELLY



Orange Pepper Jelly image

This orange pepper jelly is wonderful served with crackers and cream cheese or as a warm sauce for Boudin Balls or Coconut Shrimp.

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 - 6 oz cans frozen orange juice concentrate
2 1/2 c water
4 - 6 jalapeno or cayenne peppers, coarsely chopped
1/2 c jalapeno or cayenne peppers, seeded and minced
4 1/2 c sugar
3 pkg powdered pectin or 4 pouches of liquid pectin
red & yellow food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Wearing plastic gloves, remove seeds and ribs from 6-8 jalapeno or cayenne peppers and mince peppers. Store in covered container in refrigerator until needed. Separately reserve seeds for later.
  • 2. Combine orange juice concentrate with water. Add reserved seeds and coarsley chopped jalapeno or cayenne peppers to orange juice and store in refrigerator overnight.
  • 3. Strain seeds and peppers from orange juice and discard. If you desire a very clear jelly, strain juice and seeds through a fine mesh strainer, then again through a layer of white paper towels and discard peppers. seeds and residue. Add reserved minced peppers to strained OJ. In large sauce pan combine orange juice and powdered pectin pectin; cook on high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbles form around edges.
  • 4. Add sugar, stirring well, and bring back to a full rolling boil. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam from top. If you want a richer orange color add add 2 drops of yellow to 1 drop of red food coloring. Stir and repeat until it reaches desired color.
  • 5. Pour into sterile jelly jars to within 1/2 inch of top. Seal tightly and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, remove from hot water and allow to set. I've found that orange jelly is sometimes finicky and won't always set up firm, so the hot water bath should do the trick. I always keep the fire on low under the jelly when putting it into the jars and the last several jars always set up better. *Note: Orange jelly could take up to 2 weeks to completely set, yet sometimes it only reaches a soft set, depending on temperature, humidity and who knows what else!
  • 6. *Tip: Place clean jars on a baking sheet and place in a 250 degree F oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 225 degrees F to keep jars hot until ready to use.

  • Note: Scoop one ladle of pepper jelly in each jar to evenly distribute peppers before completely filling each jar. The peppers rise to the top. If you do not evenly distribute them, you will have no peppers left for the last jars.
  • Note 2: If you don't like it spicy don't add spicy peppers, if you like it very spicy use spicier peppers! The orange peel is a personal choice, you don't have to add it.

ORANGE JELLY



Orange Jelly image

Sam Bompas and Harry Parr call what they do "contemporary food design," among other things. Their projects include building painstakingly correct models of St. Paul's Cathedral in London and a Madrid airport terminal out of jelly. This recipe was used as part of the pair's first job in the United States. It was paired with Campari jelly, and the dessert they made for a 2009 dinner in New York tasted something like a Campari and soda in jelly form.

Categories     quick, dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup orange juice, at room temperature
1 packet unflavored gelatin
1 orange, skin and membrane removed, flesh diced
Campari jellies ( see recipe)

Steps:

  • Make simple syrup: Place sugar in a saucepan, add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook just until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In a bowl, mix orange juice and simple syrup. Place gelatin in a small metal bowl or 1-cup metal measuring cup and pour 1/4-cup orange juice mixture over it to soften. When gelatin is soft, place bowl or cup in a shallow pan with simmering water below rim of bowl or cup. Let water simmer until gelatin mixture liquefies. Slowly whisk liquid gelatin into rest of orange juice mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup water.
  • Divide orange pieces among 4 4-ounce or 6 3-ounce metal or silicone molds. Pour orange juice mixture into molds. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Unmold onto a flat surface, like a baking sheet, by first dipping molds in hot water for count of 20. Return to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve with Campari jellies.

ORANGE-SCENTED JELLY DOUGHNUTS (SUFGANIYOT)



Orange-Scented Jelly Doughnuts (Sufganiyot) image

Some Jewish foods take a lifetime to love. It can take years of practice to truly enjoy the baby food flavor and clammy texture of gefilte fish. And as festive desserts go, the dry honey cakes baked for the Jewish New Year are hardly alluring. This may explain why American Jews have enthusiastically embraced a Hanukkah treat popular in Israel, sufganiyot, or, as we know them, jelly doughnuts. Fragrant with sugar and jam, sufganiyot (the plural of sufganiya) have become a sweeter symbol of the holiday, especially for children.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dessert

Time 5h30m

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup lukewarm milk or water
1 teaspoon dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sour cream or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Freshly grated zest of 1/2 orange
1 2/3 cups flour, more as needed
1/2 cup thick raspberry or strawberry jam
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Place milk or water in small bowl. Sprinkle yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar over milk. Set aside until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat remaining sugar with egg and egg yolk. Add sour cream, salt, vanilla extract, orange zest and yeast mixture, and mix well. With mixer running, gradually add flour. Mix until dough is soft, smooth and elastic, adding flour if dough seems very sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not add more than an additional 3 tablespoons flour; dough will be somewhat sticky, but will firm up in refrigerator. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit or a cookie cutter to cut out 2-inch rounds, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reroll scraps and cut again. Let rise in a warm place 30 minutes.
  • In a heavy pot, heat 3 inches of oil to 365 degrees; when hot enough, a small piece of dough will brown on bottom in 30 seconds. If too hot, doughnuts will brown outside before cooking through. Working in batches, fry doughnuts until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and dust with sugar while still warm. Let oil come back to 365 degrees between batches.
  • If you have a pastry bag, fit with a small round tip and spoon jam into bag. When doughnuts are cool enough to handle, use tip of bag (or pointed tip of a serrated knife) to make a hole in bottom of doughnut. Squeeze or use a small spoon to nudge 1/2 teaspoon jam into hole. Repeat with remaining doughnuts and serve immediately. Dust again with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give your jelly a brighter flavor and color.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them.
  • Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is what gives jelly its thick, spreadable consistency. Be sure to use a good quality pectin that is specifically designed for making jelly.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Jelly making is a precise process, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. If you don't, you may end up with jelly that is too thick, too thin, or doesn't set properly.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making jelly. It will help you to ensure that the jelly reaches the correct temperature before removing it from the heat.
  • Let the jelly cool completely before serving: Jelly needs to cool completely before it will set properly. Be patient and let the jelly cool for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
