Date: Sun, 24 Mar 1996 00:04:12 -0500 From: Wendy Lockman Put jalapenos, bell pepper, & vinegar in blender. Puree ’til coarsely ground and small chunks remain.

Allow mixture to cool for 2 minutes. Then mix in pectin (and food coloring if you’re going to use it). Pour into sterilized jars, seal, and cool. (I processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.) Yield: 3 pints (I got 7 half pint containers.) From “Chile Pepper: The Magazine of Spicy Foods” May/June 1990. Vol. IV, No. 3, pp. 30-31. In “Fiery Fruits” article by Nancy Gerlach. Gerlach also wrote: “This recipe calls for apricots but peaches, nectarines, and pears work equally well. Any fresh green chile can also be substituted, depending on your heat preference. Serranos will make it hotter; roasted, peeled New Mexican chiles will tame it down.” MM-RECIPES@IDISCOVER.NET MEAL-MASTER RECIPES LIST SERVER MM-RECIPES DIGEST V3 #85 From the MealMaster recipe list.

Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 15:47:29 -0500 From: rael@EbiCom.net from: _High-Flavor, Low-Fat, Vegetarian Cooking_ (copyright Steven Raichlen, 1995)(ISBN: 0-670-85782-3) 1. If using dried chipotles, soak them in 1/2 cup warm apple juice for 30 minutes, then remove the stems and mince the chilies. If using canned chipotles, mince them. For a milder jelly, you can remove the seeds. 2. Combine the sugar, remaining apple juice, vinegar, and chipotles in a large heavy saucepan and stir to mix. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. 3. Stir in the dry and liquid pectins and boil for 2 minutes. Skim well. Pour the mixture into sterile jelly jars (three 1-pint jars or six 1-cup jars) and cover tightly. Invert the jars for 10 minutes, then reinvert. Shake the jars from time to time as the jelly cools, to evenly distribute the pepper pieces. The jelly will keep for several months in a cool, dark place, unopened. Refrigerate it, once it is opened.

Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 10:00:37 -0500 From: joeanddi@aristotle.net (Joe and Dianne Fago) Here is a quick and super easy recipe for apple butter that I found on the back of a jar of Seneca Natrual AppleSauce. I like it, because it has no added sugar. I love it on top of pancakes and waffles. Combine all ingredients in a blender container and blend until smooth. Pour pureed mixture into a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour and 20 minutes with the lid ajar to allow steam to escape. Cool to room temperature in the original applesauce jar or other container. Store covered container in refrigerator. Makes about 2 1/2 pounds of apple butter. From: Seneca Applesauce.
