He gets out not only the rubber gloves but the respirator from his shop. I laughed at him until, one time, I inhaled a snootful of pepper fumes.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406378232568485111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-4378250022117087222010-09-17T13:57:41.319-04:002010-09-17T13:57:41.319-04:00Beautiful pictures!

I could see it paired with beef or pork or lamb - yum!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775836987596716063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-77000820361774558532010-09-17T07:50:35.258-04:002010-09-17T07:50:35.258-04:00Yum - we love pepper jelly!

I actually had it for the first time at Rebecca's folks' when we were there for our first annual tomato canning party; I've made it every summer since. <br /><br />We give it away with a little tag (suggested use: crackers and cream cheese ;-) for Christmas, and we eat it ourselves at our Sunday "living room picnic" with our popcorn, raw veggies and fruit, and crackers. Some good friends have enjoyed it as a glaze on pork and in salad dressings and marinades.<br /><br />The first time I made it, I thought the same thing about prepping the hot peppers, and learned that lesson the hard way. The worst, actually, since I was making full-on jalapeno jelly, was stirring the boiling vinegar, sugar and pepper puree - my hand was a combo of pickled and sunburned! I've diligently used a marked pair of long rubber gloves for the occasion ever since ;-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675368202521191373noreply@blogger.com
