Was lookin' through the old cook book collection this morning and found one
that I had forgoten about. This is a must have for everyone who likes and
cooks with hot peppers.
"The Whole Chile Pepper Book" by Dave DeWitt ad Nancy Gerlach.
Very good, very informative book. Lots of data about chilies and the
history of cooking with them. Also nice color pictures of chilies with a
discription of the pepper history and a heat scale index based on Scoville
Units.
All of this + over 180 hot and spicey recipes.
now the recipe
Jalapeno Jelly
10 Japapeno peppers, stems removed
2 medium bell peppers
1 1/2 cup vinagar
6 cups sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
4 oz. liquid pectin
10 drops green food coloring
Place chiles and peppers in blender and puree until finely chopped.
Combine the puree and vineagar and bring to a boil. Boil rapidaly for 10
minutes stiring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in sugar and lemon juice.
Return to heat, bring to boil again, stir in the pectin and food coloring
and boil again, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
Skim off foam and bottle in sterilized jars.
Makes 6 1/2 pints
Excellent on crackers with cream cheese and can be used as a basteing sauce
for grilled poultry. For a sweet and hot flavor, add fruits shuch as
apricots or peaches to the jelly
Enjoy
