This is WONDERFUL! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Now I will admit that I used 2 Habaneros and 8 jalapenos because of my wimpy kids....but I served this up on cream cheese crackers and everyone loved it. It was just the right amount of heat for them, even though I could have gone hotter for me (old taste buds). I love the fact that zucchini was added; it added some more color to the red flakes of the habanero pepper floating around in the jelly. Thanks for a great recipe!

We had so many peppers I didn't know what to do. I found this recipe. It's great. Very simple to make and it's delicious. I'd never made jelly before , I felt great after it's success with my family and friends. Everyone loves it. People request it alot.

I can't believe I forgot to rate this. I made this last summer when the squash was over taking my kitchen table. I did not use habaneros as my husband prefers to grow these other chillis so I used those (too hot for me!!) and since the chillis were this beautiful red i decided to use summer squash which is yellow, instead of the green zucchini. The taste of this is yummy, I have used it to baste chicken when grilling or baking and have tossed some in when marinading. The uses are endless The only problem I had, and it's not your recipe, is that jelly and I just don't work together. My jelly never sets up, so I process it again and add more pectin and once again it doesn't set. But, never fail I am determined to conquer the pectin! I will win Anyway I digress. This is a wonderful jelly and I will be making this again! I might try picking the peppers when they are green and using zucchini to get a green jelly. But, the orange jelly is just so pretty in the jars. Thank you Miss Rita once again a winner!

Simply fantastic! I added only a few drops of green food coloring to make it a prettier color. Actually, the heat on this is not bad, but we do like it HOT! This is what I would call jelly "with a kick." If you like it a little hot, this recipe is great! Thanks, Rita, for yet another keeper! keep posting, and I'll keep cooking! P

Holy hoppin' habaneros! Like Rita's, my husband loves the hot stuff. I used 20, count 'em, TWENTY habaneros and wore gloves while preparing this. WEAR GLOVES! I dribbled a drop on my hand while filling the jars, didn't think and licked, OWIEEE! This is, like the title says, hot as hell. I have a very happy husband, he's already asked me to get together some cream cheese and crackers so he can demonstrate this for his crew at work. And it's very pretty, too! Thanks Rita, another winner, your recipes always are! UPDATE: Our son took 3 jars of this home tonight. I guess he knows a good thing. He tasted it and loved it, and said it was ILLEGALLY HOT.

I almost missed that this needed two pouches of pectin, but I caught in time, so my batch jelled great. I used 10 habaneros and 1 jalapeno that I roasted on the stove. It was not to hot when it first came out, but it is getting hotter as time goes on. I might do more habaneros next time. It all depends if the girls at work think this is hot enough for them. My B/F added some of this to peanut butter to make a spice sauce for dipping. Great for our Xmas baskets. Thank you for the recipe.

This is great! I love the taste and the beautiful golden color but like one other reviewer it didn't set up as much as I would have liked. I chickened out and removed the seeds but it's still hotter than heck. This was my first time using habaneros and I couldn't believe the heat of the peppers burned my hands right through the gloves. I plan on making another batch to give to all my heat loving friends for Christmas. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
