After reading the reviews I decided to wear a face mask! It helped... Cannot wait to serve this to my friends who brag that there is nothing too hot for them! The challenge will be met. Thank you.

Great Recipe, only one thing to remember wear gloves when washing utencils too, My hands are on fire.

This was not difficult at all expect for the fumes from the peppers. I wore the gloves during the jelly process really glad I did otherwise the jelly making process went very quickly according to the recipe. I made one batch without colouring and one with red colouring really did not see that much of a difference. I added the whole pepper's with seeds also some re hydrated ones that I soaked in vinegar. I will use the jelly for sauces and making my DH's BBQ sauce. I made this Spicy Habanero Jelly as part of a Christmas present to some dear friends who love spicy, sweet & hot!

Wow! I am a canning virgin no longer!! I cannot believe that this was a success. I halved the recipe because I didn't want to sacrifice all of my husband's peppers in case of an utter failure. I used 8 habenaro peppers with the seeds (yikes) and 1 orange pepper and one yellow. I realize that this was not acurate in halving the recipe but it did work out just fine. I didn't have to use any coloring as the color was a brilliant orange just as it was. I got 7 of those tiny little cute canning jars full and I look forward to giving some out as gifts. We have already sampled one jar and the taste, texture, and smell makes me think that I couldn't have possibly made this myself! Personally, I found it a little too hot even with the cream cheese to soften to heat, however since I made this with my husband's tastes in mind it was sure a treat for him. Thanks for the canning lesson, Rita!
