Steps:
- Blend vinegar, green bell pepper, and habanero peppers together in a blender until smooth. Stir pepper mixture, sugar, raspberries, and pectin together in a large stockpot; bring to a boil and cook until jam is smooth and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

RASPBERRY HABANERO PEPPER JELLY
I make large batches of this (by popular demand!) for Christmas baskets. You can make it as hot or mild as you like but I use at least 4 habaneros. Pour it over a block of softened cream cheese and serve with crackers; use as a glaze for ham or pork; great on a ham sandwich.

Steps:
- Chop up peppers in a processor until they are chopped fine. Put all but ¼ cup peppers in a saucepan with raspberries and water. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook 15 minutes. Press through a sieve or a jelly bag. You should have 2 cups prepared juice. (Sometimes I have more juice than needed so I freeze it for another batch).
- Return juice to a clean pot. Add vinegar and reserved chopped peppers. Cool 15 minutes.
- Add pectin. Bring to a boil; add sugar. Bring back to a boil and boil hard for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; skim foam.
- Ladle into hot ½ pint jars leaving 1/8" headspace.
- Seal; process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (for 4 oz. jars).
- Note: jelly might be liquidy at first, but gels over the next 1 or 2 days.
- I usually get anywhere from 10-12 of the 4 oz. jars.

RASPBERRY MARINADE
Another recipe that is adapted from several I have seen at various websites. Many recipes use brown sugar, but since I was out of brown sugar, I decided to experiment with raspberry preserves. Sweet & tangy with a bit of a garlic and red pepper bite.

Tips for Making the Best Raspberry Habanero Marinade
- Select ripe, juicy raspberries: The fresher and more flavorful the raspberries, the better your marinade will be. Look for plump, brightly colored berries with no signs of bruising or mold.
- Use a ripe habanero pepper: The habanero pepper is what gives this marinade its spicy kick. Choose a pepper that is firm and brightly colored, with no signs of blemishes. If you're not sure how hot you want your marinade to be, start with a half of a pepper and add more to taste.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the marinade. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter and lack flavor.
- Use high-quality olive oil: Olive oil is the base of this marinade, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Let the marinade sit for at least 30 minutes: The longer you let the marinade sit, the more flavor it will impart to the meat. If you're short on time, you can marinate the meat for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
