Pioneer Woman at Heart

I told a few folks that I was "taking Sunday off."  Ha!  Well, it sort of happened.  I tried several new recipes in my "try it" pile.  First, our super bowl food yesterday: Spicy Thai Chicken Wings.  Made using my home canned habanero-apricot jelly, freshly grated ginger, and fresh cilantro.  Delicious.  Different, and not real spicy as we thought.

Hubby loves hot sauce and I use it in several recipes (and our steak marinade) .  I decided it was time to try canning it.  I planted serran o hot pepper s this year by acci dent, when I purchased my j alapeno plants.   They were mixed in and I didn't see the labels. I drove down the road and bought some cherry bomb peppers from our roadside stand guy we rely on some days.  He was out of habanero, so I decided to try cherry bomb for the first batch.
