Calico Jalapeno Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

Steps:

• Sterilize eight half pint canning jars with lids and rings, boiling for at least 5 minutes and kept hot.
• Place the crushed strawberries (do not chop in a food processer; the texture will be too fine and choppy), processed jalapeno pepper, lemon juice and pectin into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan; stir in the sugar to dissolve. Rapidly bring to a boil over high heat (long, slow boiling destroys the pectin). Once at a full rolling boil, cook for 1 full minute. One half teaspoon butter may be added to keep down the foam, if desired. Letting this mixture sit for about 5 minutes discourages the fruit from separating.
• Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. Remove the jars and place onto a cloth-covered or heat-resistance surface. (While cooling, I shake frequently to redistribute content.) Allow to cool overnight. Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, except the pectin in a large saucepan or stockpot.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil vigorously for 1 minute.
• Immediately stir in the the pectin.
• Bring mixture back to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute.
• Spoon jam into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• Process in a water bath according to directions, usually 10 minutes.
• The jam may take several hours to set.

Steps:

• Cut zucchini and onions into bite sized pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a sauté pan on med-high heat.
• Once pan is heated add zucchini, onion, sesame seeds, butter, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook for about 10 minutes until zucchini and onions are slightly tender and browned.
• Eat and Enjoy!

Steps:

• place chiles, manoes and lemon juice in a pot.
• Combine pectin with 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Add to fruit.
• Bring to a full boil, one that cannot be stirred down, stirring occasionally.
• Add the rest of the sugar and return to boil for one more minute.
• Remove from heat. Remove any foam.
• Ladle into hot prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top. Wipe and process in hot water bath using good canning procedures.
