I made habanero gold with only habaneros, no bell
peppers. It was kind of spicy but even hot pepper wimps loved it.

My friend in class today told me her hubby made habanero gold. I need to check that out if it isn't atomic blast hot.

Jalapeno Jelly

12 oz jalapeño peppers (about 12 med)
2 cups cider vinegar, divided
6 cups sugar
2 3-oz pouches of Liquid Pectin
5 (8 oz) half pint glass preserving jars with lids and bands

1.) PREPARE boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.

2.) PURÉE peppers in food processor or blender with 1 cup cider vinegar until smooth. Do not strain purée.

3.) COMBINE purée with remaining 1 cup cider vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

4.) ADD Liquid Pectin, immediately squeezing entire contents from pouches. Continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim foam if necessary.

5.) LADLE hot jelly into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.

6.) PROCESS in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.

I have wondered if someone could turn my way-too-hot tabasco peppers into something sweet? I want to grow many Tabasco plants as ornamentals because they are beautiful, but the peppers are way hotter than what we like.

You guys got any ideas?

I tried the Habanero Gold jelly my friend made and it was delicious...not too hot but a spicy kick. Is that something you are looking for?
