i also like to make a pepper jelly
sweet and sour and hot
yum yum makes the
salivary glands
activate just
to think of
it. color-
ful, too.
use red
green
and
yel-
low
pep-
pers
and some
orange ones
too for a great
rainbow of flavor!
maybe some hungarian
wax ones for a bit of heat.
then vinegar honey onions and
garlic and a bit of agar agar to
thicken it. A friend from New Orleans
taught me how to make it. I might have to
make a batch and send some there! What are the
calibration units used to measure heat as in peppers?
Picante as opposed to caliente. degrees capsicum or what?
oh yes, they are called Scoville Units--the story is here; http://ushotstuff.com/Heat.Scale.htm and here is another site

Did yo know that Habanero means "from Havana?" I saw someone with
an ad for havanese and i think that must mean the same thing. These
are a type of small dog--it looks quite poodle-like. not hot at all!
