SERRANO PEPPER JELLY I adapted recipe from lilluna.com
then adapted to Aji Mango Peppers like in the photo

Takes about 1 ½ hours to make - from cutting to canning. (not including picking peppers or cleanup)

Pick peppers, wash & weigh.

1 lb serrano peppers, stems, seeds & veins removed
1 lb banana peppers, stems, seeds & veins removed
(Total yield should be 4 cups of food processed peppers)

5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt

1 3oz pouch of liquid Pectin

After prepping the peppers, bring water to a boil in the large stainless pot (was my Mom’s). It takes a long time for the water to boil.

Place peppers in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Drain excess liquid. (USE THE FOOD PROCESSOR - SO MUCH QUICKER)

Place the chopped peppers into the Large Red Pot and add sugar, vinegar & salt.
DO NOT ADD PECTIN YET

Bring to a boil over med-high heat and boil for 10 minutes.
Sterilize the jars & lids in the boiling water in the stainless steel pot.

Add the pectin and boil for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

Ladle jelly into pre-sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 head space. Top the jars with seals & lids and seal tightly. Place the jars in a pot to perform a water bath. Cover the jars completely with water. Hot water bath for 10 minutes.

Remove from the hot water bath and let sit on the counter for at least 12 hours without disturbing the jars. As they seal, you will hear the seal pop.

Jelly that is sealed properly can be stored on the shelf. If a seal did not take place, or if you have opened the jar, store in refrigerator. Let set up for 1 day.

Makes 6 pint jars

A light frost generally won’t hurt the peppers but I offered some to friends to motivate me to pick a basket full. Yesterday was three grocery bags.

It’s been a great year. I’m pretty sure I could fill a wheel barrow still!!

Imagine a picture of the lost picture of the last sauce (for now)

EST AFRICAN HOT SAUCE Inspired by Cheflola

INGREDIENTS:
8 -10 Habanero peppers (I used 6 Ahi Mango and 1 Habanero)
2 – 4 large tomatoes (4 small Jet Star and 4 small Purple Cherokee)
1 large onion
1 bunch parsley (I used 2 bunches of Cilantro)
1 inch ginger root
4 cloves garlic (Transylvannia)
1 tsp bouillon powder (1 square)
salt to taste
Olive oil (1/2 cup)

Instructions
Roast and peel the Tomatoes
Roast the peppers and onion as slices

Coarse chop onion
Peel and thinly slice ginger
Cut garlic like tiny french fries
Add Cilantro
Add Bullion
Blend all of the above as much as possible
Stream oil into blender to emulsify

Cook the sauce for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. I did not add any salt

Next up! Fermented Aji Mango and garlic. This is absolutely magic stuff for marinading wings or even whole chicken.

We took Habanada pepper, bred by Michael Mazourek at Cornell University, and gave it a spicy makeover! This pepper originally was bred to have habanero-like floral notes without the heat. We bred a new version that keeps those notes but adds a kick. The result? Pure perfection! We are thinking to call it Nadahaba. We don’t currently offer the variety, but hope to in the future.

We have had several bucks visiting the pond. J put some pear discard out and as you can see, this male deer is chowing. Look to the right of the video and you can see 2 bucks sparring. Haven't seen any females yet, perhaps they are hiding. LOL C.
