• 7. Add 6oz or two pouches of the liquid pectin. Bring back up to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.

Steps:

• 1. Wash and boil your jars and lids for the jar. Get boiling water bath ready for jars and begin your mixing of ingredients
• 2. Put strawberries, mango, pineapple, jalapeño peppers, and apple cider vinegar in a blender and blend until all are liquid about 1 minute.
• 3. Place the sugar and sure jel in a large pot and mix together then add processed fruit mix and bring to a boil and boil gently for 10 minutes.
• 4. Put into jars process the lids and place into a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Take out and allow to sit until caps seal. If one doesn't simply rewarm and do again. USES: Great for any salad as a dressing, over chicken in a slow cooker, as a dipping sauce for anything Chinese like egg rolls or wontons. Great over cream cheese as an appetizer and served with crackers.

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.

Steps:

• Combine mangos, pineapple, and cider vinegar in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a a simmer; mash mangos and pineapple to a chunky consistency with a potato masher. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
• Stir liquid pectin and habanero chile halves into the stockpot. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring frequently, until jam thickens, about 2 minutes more. Remove chile halves. Discard 6 chile halves; chop 2 halves and stir back into the stockpot.
• Sterilize 8 half-pint jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
• Ladle hot jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife around the insides of the jars 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, spacing them 2 inches apart. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 8 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Steps:

• In Blender or Food Processor combine Habaneros, Bell Pepper, Pineapple and Vinegar, chop fine.
• Bring to a boil on Medium/High heat, boil for 10 minutes, stirring constanly.
• Add Fruit Pectin, stir until dissolved.
• Add Sugar, stir until dissolved.
• Return to a boil and hard boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, mixture will thicken as it boils.
• Remove from Heat and Skim Foam.
• Ladle into sterilized 4oz Jars leaving 1/8"Headspace.
• Seal and process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
• I typically yield 12-14 of the 4 oz jars. May take 1 to 2 days for the jelly to set.
