Redbellpepperspreadwithham Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450F degrees.
• Wash peppers and cut in half.
• Remove seeds and stems.
• Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
• Make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. This steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. Rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
• Let cool so you can touch them.
• Skin will peel off easily.
• Cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.
• Now you know how to roast a red pepper!
• Good for: Chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
• You can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (NOT ELECTRIC!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. Continue with paper bag step.

Steps:

• Immerse nine 8-ounce jars in simmering water. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell peppers, onion, and habanero pepper; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, vinegar, garam masala, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir apricot nectar and orange juice concentrate into the skillet. Bring to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Whisk water and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl until no lumps remain. Pour into the skillet; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pack mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except olive oil and walnuts in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Slowly add olive oil and walnuts, continue blending.
• Make sure not to over-mix, the walnuts should still be left in small pieces.

Steps:

• Shred the cheddar and gouda cheeses in a food processor.
• Add remaining ingredients and process until combined.

Steps:

• Add everything to a small sauce pan and mix until well incorporated.
• Cook the relish on medium heat for 5 minutes and turn down the heat to medium-low(or low) for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has reduced.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
• Note:.
• The relish needs to be cooked on a low heat, so stir frequently and reduce time if necessary. This recipe will keep quite awhile in the fridge and you may multiply the recipe and can it if desired.

Steps:

• Rub the outside of the pepper halves with olive oil.
• Arrange cut-side down in one layer onto a baking sheet or a shallow pan.
• Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack 4-5 inches from the heat.
• Broil the peppers until well charred (the peppers will not char evenly at the ends, this will take about 20 minutes or a little more).
• Transfer to a plate or bowl and immediately cover tightly with heat-proof heavy plastic wrap (I like using Saran Wrap for this).
• Allow to stand for about 20-25 minutes.
• When the peppers are cool enough to handle peel off the the skin.
• Chop to desired size then use immediately or transfer to a glass jar.
