HABANERO PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Drain pineapple well, reserving 1/2 cup pineapple juice.

APPLE-HABANERO JELLY

Steps:

• Put the cider in a large nonreactive pan and set over medium-high heat. Chop the peppers coarsely.
• Once the cider comes up to a simmer, add the peppers. Steep until you get the desired heat extraction; this should only take a couple of minutes. Strain the cider through cheesecloth (the more layers, the clearer your jelly; I don't mind it a little cloudy), and return to the pan. Turn the heat back on.
• Mix the pectin with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Whisk into the cider thoroughly. Bring the cider to a full rolling boil. Add the sugar, stirring well to mix. Bring once again to a full rolling boil for one full minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat, and skim away any foam. Ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/8 of headroom. Process using normal water-bath method.

HABANERO APPLE JELLY

Steps:

• 1. Quarter apples. Don't peel and don't remove core. Add all ingredients except the sugar. Bring to boil and then simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a potato masher to make the consistency of runny applesauce. Don't worry about the peels.
• 2. Suspend a colander, sieve, or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Spoon in the apple mixture. Let drain overnight. For clear jelly, just let it drain. If you squeeze, it will be cloudy.
• 3. For 4 cups of juice, use 3.5 cups sugar (7/8 cup per cup of juice). Boil juice and sugar to 220 degrees. Ladle into sterilzed jars and seal with your method of choice.

• Put chilies, vinegar, and sugar in a 4-5 quart pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often, and boil until mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 7 minutes.
• Scrape jelly from jars into pan. Stirring often, boil until jelly melts. Ladle hot jelly back into the unwashed jars to within 1/4" of rims. Wipe rims clean and screw lids onto jars. If there is a little extra jelly, pour into a small dish and cover when cool.
• After 1-1/2 hours, gently shake jelly in jars to resdistribute chili pieces if they have floated to the top. When jelly is cool, use or store in the refrigerator up to 3 months.
• Decorate jar tops with colorful paper or fabric and tie with raffia or ribbon for gift giving.
