HABANERO PINEAPPLE JAM

This is a recipe devised to use a bounty of habaneros grown by my uncle and given to me. I mixed and matched pieces from recipes found on the internet to come up with one that has these beautiful colors, flavors, and texture. I love to serve this on top of a softened block of cream cheese with butter crackers as an appetizer. It's also a great marinade/glaze (when mixed with a bit of soy sauce) for pork and chicken.

Time 12h45m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
6 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
1 red bell pepper, minced
12 habanero peppers - stems and membranes removed, minced
1 cup shredded carrots
¾ cup powdered fruit pectin, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple well, reserving 1/2 cup pineapple juice.
  • Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Place jars and lids on a rack in a large pot of boiling water; sterilize for about 5 minutes. Remove jars from water and place on kitchen towel or wooden board.
  • Mix sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt together in an 8-quart pot and cook over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and add the pineapple, reserved pineapple juice, minced bell pepper, habanero peppers, and carrots. Bring back to a rapid boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add powdered pectin, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Let jam boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top. Wipe off any spillage around the rims of the jars using a damp paper towel.
  • Screw on tops and rings. Place the sealed jars back in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove jars from boiling water and place on kitchen towel or wooden board. Allow to cool completely, 12 to 24 hours. Listen for a "pop" as jars cool and seal.

PINEAPPLE HABANERO SALSA

This is a nice salsa that is especially good with any seafood. It goes particularly well with fresh Hawaiian ahi. I usually use a jalapeno pepper instead of the habanero to cool it down a notch. From Bon Appetit.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Look for pineapple that is golden yellow in color and has a sweet aroma. Avoid pineapple that is green or has brown spots.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Handle habaneros with care: Habaneros are very spicy, so it's important to wear gloves when handling them. Avoid touching your eyes or nose after handling habaneros.
  • Taste the salsa before serving: The spiciness of the salsa can vary depending on the type of habaneros you use. Taste the salsa before serving and adjust the amount of habaneros to your desired spice level.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator: Pineapple-ginger-habanero salsa is best served immediately, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Pineapple-ginger-habanero salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, grilled fish or chicken, or even just as a dip for chips. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy habaneros, and zesty ginger creates a unique and flavorful salsa that is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
