Great jelly recipe! I had lots of habaneros in my garden, and when I came across this recipe I just had to give it a try... and I'm glad I did. I gave out a few jars and I've had lots of compliments and requests for the recipe! -
Just made it. Love it!! -
This reciept rocks and my girlfriend loved it too! I didn't wear gloves which was stupid. Feels like a constant "icy-hot". I might experiment with putting some other fruits in it next time. -
I made this recipe and used the low end of the habanero count and was very pleased with the out come. I like heat but I also like to taste and it turned out great. Everyone that tried the jelly fell in love with it! THANKS!

I've lived on both coasts. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC (Once a Month Cooking) and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Most of the time, I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table, but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would make it again. 4 stars - This recipe was good, but I would change something in it next time. 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again, but it was OK. 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again, and we didn't like it at all. 1 star - This recipe did not work out/the taste was unappealing, and I wouldn't make it again.
