Mango Habanero Pepper Jam Cream Cheese Spread Recipes

MANGO HABANERO JAM

Steps:

• Fill the water bath canner with water on a separate stove burner to prepare the jam for the water bath.
• Wash the canning jars. Place the canning jars, lids and bands in the oven at 200 degrees F to sterilize while you are making the jam (it helps to have them all in an 13x9 dish to keep them all together).
• Place the peeled, chopped mangos and the peppers, seeds removed, and place in your blender. Pulse until the mangos and peppers are well chopped/broken down.
• Add the mangos, peppers,, sugar, pectin, and lemon juice to your deep stock pot. Give it a stir to combine.
• Crank the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir frequently, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F. Once the mixture reaches 220 degrees F, continue to boil for 4-5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the pot from the stove.
• Remove from heat and ladle into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rims thoroughly and then apply lids and bands (finger tight).
• Placed filled jars in a hot water bath, ensuring that they are covered by 2 inches of water. Place lid on water bath canner, and bring water to a steady boil.
• Process the jars for 10 minutes (half pint), adjusting for altitude. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. Boil one additional minute for every 1,000 feet elevation.
• Turn off the heat, remove the lid and allow the jars to rest for 5 minutes. Then remove the jars entirely and allow to cool.
• Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lids should not flex up and down when center is pressed. Store jars in a cool place for up to 1 year.

If you think it needs to be more spicy I would hold the craisens and chill first because the flavor really come out after it sits a while. Then if you still think it needs it add some peppers, then mix in craisens.
