I’ll trade you a jar of your jelly for a taste of my sausage…well, a taste of Curt’s sausage.
The next time we work the Red Wing shop Brian I’ll bring a jar over to Everts for you.
Lenny,
I simply heat up enough raspberries to get a full 4 cups of juice when strained. I chop up a couple medium jalepenos, and add [seeds and all] to the juice, heat to a simmer for a half hour and let sit overnight in the fridge. The juice gets re-strained to get the seeds and pepper pulp out Heat the juice until it boils and add 7 1/2 cups of sugar and a lump of butter and bring back to a boil that you cannot stir down. Add 2 packets of liquid certo pectin, stir in well and bring the juice back to a hard boil for 1 minute. Jar up and you’re good to go.
I like heat so I use hot peppers but more moderate peppers can be used to tame it down a hair. I make jelly because I don’t like the raspberry seeds but a guy can make jam this way too and just leave the pepper parts right in the mix. I’ve done it both ways and just like the jelly better.
