You know it's a good day when...the peach mango jam turned out beautifully, candied jalapeños are ready to go for Christmas, and the jelly finally reset! Now everyone in the family will have his/her own personal, edible gift straight from my kitchen.
Glad to hear the jelly set! Will you share the recipe?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...but proceed at your own risk! My post "The Making of Jalapeno Jelly" gives a recipe I used to cut back on the vinegar flavor, but I had to reset that batch, so I'm not sure I would follow that one again.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe that finally worked for me is the one off the Ball liquid pectin box. However, I think the directions are misleading in that it appears you are to use both packages of the liquid pectin. NO! You will only use one package, and I cut the cider vinegar down to 1/2 cup mixed with the jalapenos at first and then just 1 cup after that.
The freezer peach mango jam was simple. Again, I used the Ball freezer jam package and just added a very ripe mango to the fruit puree. The batch set up perfectly and was very tasty, similar to marmalade.
