Habanero-Apricot Jelly

I dug out my canning pot, utensils, and hot peppers yesterday.  If you froze any habanero peppers, this is perfect to can in winter time. The weather forecast was for snow.  Lots of snow. 

 Ha.

 We got rain.  A lot of rain.  Is the weather guy drunk?  Or is mother nature drunk?

It is a "try-it" recipe that was sitting around, and it smelled so good on the stove top.



I have a second recipe to make - baked wings with the jelly.  If we like it, I'll be looking for other ways to utilize it. Maybe on crackers with cream cheese or other cheese?
The recipe comes from "The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving" (2016).  The jelly is made with habanero peppers, red bell peppers, red onion, and dried apricots (and white vinegar). The recipe for Spicy Thai chicken wings is on the same page as the jelly recipe.

The jelly is a gorgeous color.  I cant wait to taste it.  Like most hot pepper jellies, it's most likely best to let it set a bit.

It must be jelly making time on the homestead! My daughter finished up making the apple jelly she started yesterday. It had a wonderful taste before being water bathed. Hope it sets up nicely! Yours does look lovely.

Mama Pea, you know my Hubby has no patience, and he opened a jar of it last night. We tasted it over crackers and organic cream cheese. Delicious. I can't wait to try it on wings next.

The jelly sounds yummy and like it would be good on chicken, turkey, pork, maybe even some fish too. You could probably also use it to spice up certain casseroles, etc.
Been under the weather a bit with a weird virus that gives ya headaches, and because I'm prone to migraines, some of those headaches have turned into one leaving me weary, but this too shall pass.
Hope everyone's having a wonderful week, and a safe one too.
Cold weather suppose to be headed our way, but we'll just have to see what comes. Sometimes it seems to be as much as a surprise to the weather experts as it is to us. LOL
God bless.

I don't like hot or too spicy but I do like that jelly. I would probably use jalapenos as that is what is in my freezer. The chicken idea is a good one!

Sam I Am, it really isn't a hot jelly. It's delicious on the cracker with cream cheese.

Anita, I think this was a Better Homes and Gardens recipe. If I can't find it online for you, I will post the book it's in later.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
