Hot Pepper and Garlic Jelly

 

 

> I recently catered the pre-wedding ceremony cocktail party for one of my

very good friends down in the Outer Banks, NC. One of the favorite things

was the cheese platter the bride's father had put together of all sorts of

gourmet cheeses from his deli. I had brought along a few jars of this, and

we set it out with the cheeses. Paired with an extra sharp cheddar, this

jelly practically sings. It's actually fabulous with almost any kind of

cheese, or by itself on a cracker. It can also be mixed into cream cheese

for a super-fast dip, or melted down and used as a glaze. Pictures of the

finished recipe can be seen at http://28cooks.blogspot.com

>

> I've also included some super-easy canning tips that won't require any

special equipment.

>

> Hot Pepper and Garlic Jelly

> yield (6) 1/2pt jars

>

> 1 red bell pepper, minced

> 1 c fresh hot peppers, chopped

> (I use any combination I happen to have on hand - banana, jalapenos,

habaneros, etc)

> 1/2 c minced garlic

> 1 1/2 c vinegar

> 6 c sugar

> 2 tsp cracked black pepper

> 1 pkt liquid Certo

>

> Place all ingredients in large saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil,

stirring often. Boil for 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and add Certo. Stir

well. Pour into 1/2 pint jars and seal.

>

> *The easiest way to can is this - wash and dry canning jars thoroughly.

Place lids and rings in a pot of barely simmering water. Once jelly is

ready, fill a jar, leaving about a 1/4 " headspace. With tongs, remove lid

and ring from water, place on jar, and tighten, although not all the way.

Turn jar upside down on a dishtowel. Repeat with remaining jars. Allow to

cool for 10-15 minutes. Turn upright and allow to seal. Tighten rings on all

jars. If any of the jars don't seal, simply store in the refrigerator once

cool. The other jars can be stored in a pantry for 8 months to a year, if it

lasts that long.

Thank you Pat/Veggie Hound .

 

I printed out the recipe--it sounds a little different than the standard curry

recipe that I create for recipes on an as needed basis. It looks like it would

be great tasting, but a tad hot. This looks like it makes a lot--enough for 6

months to 1 year from my calculations.

 

Is this an [east] Indian spice mixture? What part of India is it from?

 

Does anyone know why at kind of red chillies the recipe refers to? There are

many kinds of red chillies where I shop at my local Coop both fresh and dried.

Shell, I'm so sorry to have overlooked this request. No, I don't have a

recipe of my own for

this powder - nor one I have tried :-( BUT I did google and found this for you:

 

http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/indian/02/rec0263.html

 

Good luck!

 

Best love, Pat

Decrease the chillies?

Yeah. Probably. I don't have the recipe in front of me, but perhaps you could

scale it down

a bit?

Can't answer. I wasn't the one who asked for the recipe. I only googled and gave

a link, to

help out. I thought it was worth posting BECAUSE the spelling of the spice mix

was

different to the one given above in this subject line (provided by the original

poster) and I

thought knowing the alternate spelling might help to find the one she was

looking for.

 

In a dried powder, I would use dried rather than fresh red chillies.

 

Best love, Pat

Kath -

 

There's also a recipe (not tried by me - I don't use this particular mix) here

that is in more

manageable amounts:

 

http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/spices/sambar.html

 

I should add that it's from South India.

 

Does this help??? Otherwise, ask Shell - she was the one who made the inquiry in

the first

place. I'm just yer humble dogsbody :-)

 

love, pat

Sambhar is a traditional south Indian dish that contains a mixture of lentils

and vegetables. It is usually eaten as an accompaniment to rice. The recipe

should last atleast a year, since it is roasted, the powder will not lose its

taste.

 

You could also sprinkle some of the powder over stir fry vegetables like Okra,

Potatoes, Colocasia, etc.

 

You can find a link for the recipe for Sambhar here.

http://www.sysindia.com/kitchen/main_dishes.html#Sambhar.

 

If you are interested I could post my mom's recipe for the same.

 

Cheers,

Seetha
