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."

- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
24 ounces
ingredients
- 6 whole habanero peppers
- 1 cup cider vinegar

- 1⁄2 cup orange juice
- 6 cups sugar
- 1 (1/3 ounce) package Certo
directions
- 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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have lived in many exciting places including Hawaii, Nothern and Southern California, Colorado, Oklahoma(ok, not so exciting), Dijon, France, and now reside in Southern Germany with my wife, who is German. I started to grow chiles about 4 years ago because we just can't get jalapenos, serranos, habs, anaheims, and poblanos here. Now my balcony is full of chile plants.
I studied French at the Uni, and expected to marry a French gal, but as fate would have it, I met and fell in love with a German gal. So, now I live in Germany, and have picked up a third language, and love living here and am very happy. I am working on an MBA, and teaching English as a Second Language, and selling chiles, homemade ristras, and homemade chile marmalades to help finance the MBA. I am trying to open the German's eyes so they realize there are more than just green and red chiles in the world.
I started cooking while serving at a Mexican resataurant in Sacramento, Ca., and have enjoyed it ever since. My love of spicy food goes back twenty years. It started with black pepper, and over the years has worked itself into a passion for chiles, and all that is spicy.
You may notice I always give four or five stars. That is because I only bother rating a recipe if it is worth four or five, and if I will be making it again, and or often.
