No stove right now. Can I freeze jalapenos for jelly?
Comments (8)Jt, Why stem them first? natal, Don't guess I should have emphasized with a "for sure", but I just prefer to have them ready to go when take out of the freezer. Many pepper varieties are easy to remove stem when frozen and I don't mind a little green core left when cooking with them. Some varieties need to be cored a little. Bells and larger frying types for example. Easier to core before freezing. Just picked some ripe jals yesterday and the day before. The stems pluck off with just using your fingers if you let sit on the counter for a day or so. Some varieties are easily picked from the plant and leave the stem behind. Other varieties I end up chopping part of the top of the pod when removing the stems. jt...See MoreFreezing elderberries- then making jelly?
Comments (6)RE: The unset jelly (nice syrup though?) Well I happened to speak to my Mother in law and she explained to me that sure-jell and regular fruit pectin should not be used interchangeably- which is why the sure-jell recipe only needed 4 1/2 cups sugar per 3 cups juice and the pectin recipe called for 7 cups sugar/3 cups juice. Needless to say I did not have sure-jell but will definately have it next time. The recipe I used did contain 1/2 cup lemon juice though. The only possible problems I can think of is 1. I thought I had 6-8qt pot (the biggest dutch oven type that comes in kitchen sets?) and the recipe said add pectin and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. The only problem? Every time it boiled hard it boiled ALL OVER (still getting it out of my burners!) So I was letting it get boiling good at just at the point of going over, picking it up off stove for a second or two. 2.I was also unsure how to keep jars hot enough as I don't own dishwasher so I put them in oven in a pan with a couple inches of water in the bottom of it- set it to 200° but when I took the jars out there was condensation in them so they weren't "dry"- does this factor in at all or is that ok? I couldn't think of any way to dry them fast enough to pour jelly in without getting burned or having it cool too fast....See MoreLearn Canning, Freezing, & Jams, Jellies & Pickles - Springfield

Comments (11)Fastest quilt top I've ever done!! It turned out being 50 by 66 inches. I want to put a framing border around it, but there are so many weird colors not sure where to go in my stash for it. Definitely not something I would want to keep but it would make a good charity quilt or a give-away to someone who took a fancy for it. The part I did have a problem with was the strips were so long and kept twisting up, the lady on the website never mentioned any tricks for keeping that from happening....See More- 7 years ago
