How to Make Habanero Gold Jelly

  1. Slice apricots into 1/8-inch thick slices. Combine apricots and vinegar in a large stainless steel saucepan. Let stand for four hours.
  2. Finely dice 1 medium yellow onion and 2-3 habanero peppers (wear gloves when handling habaneros!).
  3. Add the diced onion and peppers to the apricots and vinegar mixture. Stir in 4 cups of granulated sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Once boiling, continue to boil hard for exactly one minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) of liquid pectin. Mix thoroughly for about 3 minutes until well combined. Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to thicken.
  7. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  8. Apply snap lids and rings, ensuring they are tightly sealed.
  9. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (optional, but recommended for optimal shelf life).
  10. Remove jars from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. If needed, gently invert the jars while still warm to distribute solids evenly.
