This turned out really good! I'm sure it would've been even better had I had some chipotle powder to go in it :(. I halved the recipe, used honey for half the sugar, used fresh jalapenos for the canned, and regular Clear Jel for the flour (if you use Clear Jel---use LESS THAN 1/2 of the amount of Clear Jel in place of the amount of flour it calls for in a recipe). Mine was TOO thick while still hot so I knew it'd only get thicker as it cooled..so I kept adding more water and vinegar to get the right consistency, also it tasted a bit too sweet so I added more salt. The end result is terrific and very addictive! I got 4 half pints plus enough to refrigerate and eat on for a couple days! Thanks for the great recipe!

The recipe may be OK except for the 1 cup of flour. The US Govt. says no flour in canned products as they break down or interfier with heat transmission needed to make product safe. It should either be left out or thickened with something like Clear-Jel, or similar commercial product, that is approved for canning. Regards Jim

I'm a 48 year old newlywed, just married June 7, 2008. We have 15 and 17 year old boys who are very grateful for my cooking abilities! We live in a small lake community about an hour outside of Dallas, and wouldn't trade Country Life for anything. I'm an accountant for a large commercial real estate firm in downtown Dallas, but on the weekends we travel all over the state and participate in the CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) chili cookoffs and raise money for charity. It's a great way for us to do something together, and we've met tons of fun people.
