Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
I am slightly addicted to chilli and eat it on as many foods as possible. This is a spicy and sweet chilli jam with garlic and ginger. I think it has a bit of a spicy kick but it is not mouth burning.
Sweet, tart, and spicy, Habañero Pepper Jelly is nearly irresistible. The jelly adds a serious kick to a simple grilled cheese or spread it on a turkey sandwich. The recipe can easily be adapted to feature other varieties of peppers as well.
If you know and like pepper jellies, you will probably enjoy this Green Tomato and Chili Jelly. In spite of being hot, is has a very subtle, slightly refreshing taste and is perfect paired with delicately seasoned dishes.
Hot and sweet peppers are available throughout the Summer. This Pepper Jelly is a mixture of both and a great way to spice up toasts, grilled meat, sandwiches, noodles, rice dishes...
I wanted for a recipe for jalapeño jelly that didn't rely on food dye or commercial pectin. I've come up with the following recipe which uses apple jelly made from Granny Smith apples and cranberries.
