Habanero-Apricot Jelly

Preserving continues....
 

I started the early morning (yesterday) by canning one batch of habanero-apricot jelly with some of the habanero peppers.  


We enjoy this jam on biscuits, rolls, crackers with cream cheese, on meats etc. It comes in handy for family/friend gatherings for appetizers and snacks.


 (3 half-pints, 6 - 4 oz. jars)

 It has good flavor, but it's not spicy hot like you'd think.  The sugar cuts the heat in this recipe, and I'm too chicken to cut the sugar and end up with runny jelly.  It's good on chicken, wings, etc. as well.


The rest of the habaneros were frozen, along with the majority of jalapenos.  I kept a few out for meals/pizza etc.

I do like the sound of that, you are certainly very industrious with all your canning.

Susan, I want to can it again if this week's heat gives me more habaneros. Only the next batch, I want to leave seeds in and see if it gets more heat (Hubby likes a "hot" pepper jelly).

I'm trying to be braver in cooking with "hot" peppers. I think it's capsaicin in them that's supposed to be so good for us. Sounds as though your jelly would be good!

Mama Pea, I freeze a lot of our jalapeno peppers, most of the hot banana too. I like to grind a combination of hot peppers for my "fire powder" too. Hubby likes to put the cowboy candy on anything almost.

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 . . .
