When spread onto a butter cracker with cream cheese, it needs to have a good "bite".
Muy disappointed.
September 30, 2008: Hot (Not) Pepper Jelly
I made the Hot Pepper Jelly from the recipe I posted earlier this month, and it's not hot. Not hot enough for me, anyway. It was a very easy recipe, and it does look pretty, but it could have had at least twice the jalapenos that it called for, or I should have left a few of the jalapeno seeds in it. It's also a chunky jelly, with bits and pieces of pepper floating throughout, rather than a clear jelly. I don't mind that at all, but I do think I'll try another recipe the next time.

Granny, that is a very pretty color! I've never had any of that before. And as always, your presentation is superb! It makes me want to reach into my monitor and get one of those crackers. I just love the way that you setup everything for the final picture!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a beautiful shade of green though! I'll trade you a jar of it for a jar of my homemade blackberry jam! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Cynthia...don't tempt me! We used to make a trip down the Columbia River to pick blackberries each year, and I'd make tons of blackberry jam, jelly and syrup. I sure do miss those berry picking excursions! The pepper jelly tasted fine sans the cream cheese, so not a loss. It just really needs to be hotter to compliment the cheese.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EG...I have as much fun with the photo ops as I do with the gardening! A friend and I had a frog war one year (photos of our dinners, with a frog from our collections in each) and it drove Mr. H crazy because his food would get cold while I was setting up for the pictures! Maybe I'll blog some of those photos once the gardening ends.
ReplyDeleteI was at a large farm stand a couple weekends ago and they had many preserves for sale. The one that caught my eye was a garlic & chili flack jelly. It was so nice looking, it was a clear golden colour with specs of garlic and chili throughout. I think I might find a recipe for garlic jelly and add chili flacks to it and see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteDan, I wish all my peppers had turned red this year, the red hot pepper jelly is so pretty. I've never heard of garlic jelly! I suppose it would be served with meat, rather than as a sweet spread.
ReplyDeleteMa, the jelly was good, but I agree it needed to be much spicier. Didn't stop me from eating half a bag of crackers with it though! Thanks, Love Ya', Amy
ReplyDeleteAmy, cheer up. Winco had red bell peppers on sale today, so tomorrow I'm making another batch...I'm doubling the amount of jalapenos!
