Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 @@@@@ Hot Pepper-Apple Preserves 5 cups sugar 2 cups water 8 large tart apples, pared, cored and chopped 15 jalapeno peppers, cored, ribs removed, and thinly sliced or chopped Pour sugar into a heavy 5 qt pot; stir in water til well blended. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Pare and core apples; cut into small chunks, to make about 8 cups. Slice thinly or chop the peppers. Add apples, and peppers to sugar-water mixture. Cook (boiling gently) over med. heat, stirring occasionally, for 35 to 40 minutes or til preserve is thickened and apples are translucent. Meanwhile, prepare 6 half-pint canning jars. Fill jars to within 1/8 inch of rim. Wipe clean and place lids and rings on screwing on as tight as comfortable. Let cool on a towel out of a draft; then press lids with your finger. If they stay down, they're sealed. Label and store in a cool, dark area. If not sealed, store in refrigerator. Makes 6 half pints.

I used red jalapenos but I'm sure any hot pepper will do just as well. ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
