Carolina Reaper Jelly

Zana · November 14, 2016

I haven't made any of my jellies with Carolina Reapers, but I did make some Cranberry Scotch Bonnet Jelly, Cranberry Scotch Bonnet Orange Marmalade, Cranberry Bhut Jolokia Jelly, and Mango Bhut Jolokia Jelly in the past 3 years. Most of them are not for the faint of heart.

I wear my snorkel mask and a surgical mask, when prepping and cooking down the jellies/marmalades. And have been known to set up outside, after having to rush my dog Ziggy to the emergency vet, because of the toxic cloud in the kitchen. Thankfully there were no lasting effects with Ziggy. Now if I'm actually cooking the hot pepper jellies/marmalades/chutneys/sauces, I do it outside, or tone it down with milder peppers if cooking inside.
