Ghost Pepper Jelly!

Submitted by Rita1652

"CAUTION! You thought my Recipe #68981 was hot try this! Make in well ventilated room with gloves. Naga jolokia is a chili pepper the hottest in the world. (Was the hottest till they found the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend (Moruga Scorpion)) . Mine were orange when I picked them so I opted for orange bells. If you get red ones do use red bell peppers. If you can't find the ghost chili's just use 12 habaneros or if you dare try the Scorpion!"

Awesome starting point recipe for me. I never follow directions. So cooking, baking is always an adventure. My loving wife is ever so tolerant that she allows me the lattitude to play with recipes. I used 4 Ghost Peppers and 1 Carolina Reaper instead of Red Chillies. Also added Orange zest and a handful of Frozen Mangos.

I did this recipe with 6 Carolina Reapers instead of 3 Ghost Peppers, everyone who's had it that likes spicy foods has enjoyed it. Planting more peppers this year to make more.

Unreal. Mention ghost peppers and people run. Turn it into jelly and they stand in line to get a jar. A glaze on chops and pork loin. On a smoked brisket. On toast in the morning.

I was so excited to find this recipe! I won't recommend changes to this recipe (as it annoys me when others do). I will say everyone's tolerance to capsaicin is different, you can adjust the number of peppers in this. Mine has been Now & Later, of course, referring to the heat.

Very Good! I used 3 sm. to med. Ghost Peppers and there was a great flavor. If you like spice, don't be afraid to add another one or few. My fiance who cant do more than Medium Salsa was okay with the heat I came out with. Followed recipe and yielded 6 full 8 oz. jars to put up and another one 2/3 full that I'm eating now. Thanks for the recipe!
