With Jalapeno Jelly!
We blame our friends, Steve & Cathy. They made some and gave us a jar. All very innocent I'm sure but that one jar left us wanting more :)
This year I told Steve we wanted to help them make jalapeno jelly so we could have our own secret stash!
Steve and Cathy have a great outdoor area that we worked in.
 |
| The outdoor kitchen we used ~ Ben is washing jars |
 |
| What a great space to have in your yard! |
 |
| Getting things lined up and ready to go :) |
 |
| Much better than canning inside! |
 |
| Great view while working....... |
 |
| Jalapenos ~ The star of the recipe! These were picked at a local farm. |
 |
| These peppers were also grown locally ~ We added them to the jalapeno jelly for color. |
 |
| DJ didn't use gloves when he cut up jalapenos but I had to. Even with gloves my hands got red and were irritated so DJ took that job over. |
 |
| Jalapenos & vinegar |
 |
| Jalapeno mixture, sugar, pectin and more vinegar cooked on the stove ~ Then DJ ladled it into jars |
 |
| Canning takes a little patience but it's so worth it! I don't have a picture of the end result but we were happy to bring 60 pint jars of jalapeno jelly home :) Altogether I think we made around 200 jars that day. Jalapeno jelly is so good with cream cheese and crackers. ~~~~~~ Can you believe it's November 1st? Today I'm grateful for: *beautiful, lingering fall colors *a husband who is faithful and hardworking *blackberry jam *coffee in early morning hours *a Savior who is my hope Blessings, JanMarie |
