as requested alison, heres the recipe for napalm jam

1 1/2 cups white vinegar
6 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups jalapeno chiles
1 package pectin (approx 13g)
2/3 apricots

Puree the chilies and peeled/stoned apricots with a food processor or a blender. If using a blender, some of the vinegar may be needed to keep the blender from stalling and aide in the puree process. Either way, take care when opening the cover of the blender or food processor; the fumes are lethal.

Place puree in a sauce pan and add the powdered pectin. Add the vinegar if it has not already been used in the puree process. Stir to dissolve the pectin.

Place over high heat until the mixture comes to a HARD boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down). Stir continuously as the mixture is being heated. Add all of the sugar and bring back to a full rolling boil while stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and skim off the foam with a metal spoon. Place in hot sterilized jars and seal. Makes about 6 half pint jars.

Do you de-seed the chilies first? Or go for lethal?

I bet! I must make it for Dad, he would love it!

Now all I need is the chilli plants to grow......

Hi

About the chillies is the measure in the ingredients whole chillies or already chopped?

Is the sugar just common Granulated or proper preserving sugar you use for jams?

I've got a boyfriend drooling over my shoulder after telling him about this recipe, guess what I'll be doing as soon as he finds some chillies

Hi Pearlescent

the chillies should be measured whole, then chopped. i have always used 'normal' granulated sugar and never had a problem.

good luck with the jam
