MANGO HABANERO PEPPER JELLY, HONEY, AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Place block of cream cheese on serving plate that you love. I use a wood cutting board, works great!
• Spoon Mango Habanero Pepper jelly on top of the block of cream cheese. (I take the spoon a mix it up in the jar a bit to break it down. It is simpler to spoon onto the block of cream cheese with this added step.
• Drizzle honey on top. About two good squeezes.
• Sprinkle chopped cilantro for added color.
• Serve with sturdy artisan crackers or on bagels! So good!

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.

• Sterilize 8 half-pint jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
• Ladle hot jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder, spacing them 2 inches apart. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 8 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

• To test, dip a metal spoon in at right angles to the surface of the jelly and lift it about 12 inches above the surface.
• While still at right angles, allow the drops to"sheet" off.
• If they do not come together and sheet off, continue boiling and test again.
• Remove the jelly from heat, skim, and allow it to cool.
• Carefully ladle into hot sterilized jars.
