SWMBO has some that are favorites, like her Red Pepper Jelly.
To begin . . .
. . . some big beautiful red bell peppers . . .
. . . chopped up and combined with the juice of some lemons . . .
. . . in the food processor . . .
. . . where they are pureed and then strained . . .
. . . and then boiled and stirred on the stovetop with a generous slash of sugar, some red wine vinegar, a little of the strained juice, pectin and a surprise ingredient this year: a slosh of Sambal Indonesian hot sauce to give it a little kick.
The eventual jelly is poured into glasses and topped with some melted paraffin and cooled.
Kind of looks like Christmas, doesn't it?
