Mango Jalapeno Jelly Recipes

MANGO JALAPENO JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Step one - Add the fruit, peppers, and sugar into a deep pan and set on the stovetop. Turn the heat to medium-high and start cooking the jam. Use a spatula to stir frequently. It will take a few minutes until the sugar melts and the juices are released from the fruit. Keep stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it boil for five minutes before lowering the heat to medium-low for the rest of the cooking. Keep cooking, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes. At this point, the fruit should be soft and you can blend it with an immersion blender or mash it with a potato masher.
• Step two - Squeeze the juice of half a lemon right into the pan and throw in about 5 seeds. Stir them in.
• Step three - After adding the lemon seeds keep cooking for about 20 minutes or so. Watch your jam as you stir it to measure its thickness. If you are not sure if it's ready you can do the spoon test. Scoop some jam on a spoon and set it on the kitchen counter to cool for five minutes or so. Then add it back into the pot and as it leaves the spoon you will be able to measure its thickness. Just remember that the jam will keep on thickening in the jars as it cools completely.
• Step four - Fill the water bath canner with enough water to cover the jars by about an inch. Set it on the stovetop, turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Wash your jars, lids, and bands well with hot water and soap (since we will be processing the jars for 10 minutes, there is no need to sterilize them first).
• Step five - Use a ladle and the canning funnel to fill the jars, make sure to leave 1/2 inch of headspace. Use the bubble remover to scrape the inside of the jar and remove air bubbles. Then use a damp paper towel to clean the rim of the jar before centering the lid and closing the jar with the band.
• Step six - Place the jars on the rack of the water bath canner and lower the jars into the boiling water. Cover the canner and process the jars for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn off the heat, uncover the canner and let the jars rest in the hot water for five minutes or so. Then, use the jar lifter to remove the jars from the canner and place them on a kitchen towel to cool completely overnight. Always remember to adjust the processing time if you live over 1000 feet in elevation. Follow the table in the notes below to make any adjustments.
• Step Seven - When the jars are completely cool, check that they are all sealed by pressing the center of each lid. If there is no movement there it means that your jars are sealed and ready for storage. Wipe the jars and remove the band. It sometimes rusts in storage and makes it hard to open the jar down the road. And, you can also reuse it for canning something else. Store your mango jalapeno jam in a cool place like a pantry or a kitchen cabinet. It should last for 18 months or so.

JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

PINEAPPLE MANGO HABANERO JAM

Steps:

• Combine mangos, pineapple, and cider vinegar in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a a simmer; mash mangos and pineapple to a chunky consistency with a potato masher. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
• Stir liquid pectin and habanero chile halves into the stockpot. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring frequently, until jam thickens, about 2 minutes more. Remove chile halves. Discard 6 chile halves; chop 2 halves and stir back into the stockpot.
• 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).

Steps:

• place chiles, manoes and lemon juice in a pot.
• Combine pectin with 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Add to fruit.
• Bring to a full boil, one that cannot be stirred down, stirring occasionally.
• Add the rest of the sugar and return to boil for one more minute.

• Ladle into hot prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top. Wipe and process in hot water bath using good canning procedures.

JALAPENO-MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Lightly fry the jalapeno chiles, turning them in the pan until their skins are blistered, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, stem, seed and finely chop the jalapeno chiles and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the cilantro, mangoes, lime juice and onions and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or store the salsa in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• 1. Sterilize and prepare pint canning jars and lids as directed.
• 2. Cut stems off of Jalapeno's. (Be sure to wear plastic gloves.) Cut the Jalapeno's in thirds or quarters. Put cut up Jalapeno's in food processor or blender. Add Mango's and blend until pureed.

• 5. Turn off heat and let cool for ten minutes.
• 6. Add 6oz or two pouches of the liquid pectin. Bring back up to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
• 7. Ladle into jars. I use the hot water bath process. Some people just put the lids turn the jars upside down and the lids seal either way.
• 8. It takes about 24 hours for the jelly to finish thickening.
• 9. Enjoy as a snack with Bagels and Cream cheese. Iuse the jelly to make crostini appetizers and I use it for cooking.

• Combine all ingredients except the pectin in a large saucepan and boil for 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool for ten minutes.

• 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.
• Clean the outside of each jar around the top with a hot cloth dipped in boiling water.
• Seal with sterilized lids.
