Mango Habanero Blunder
Recently got back into making jellies and jams. Had my first big success with a mixed berry jam, wonderful color, set up right, good seals and tasted great.
I decided to try this Mango Jalapeño jelly from the ball website. Turned out great again, good color, set, seal and taste but was a tad bit sweet compared to what I was looking for. My fiance had originally requested mango habanero and that was the only recipe I could find. I read up that you could safely swap peppers as long as you used the same amount. So I made a batch with 2/3 cup seeded habanero peppers. Oh my goodness did that burn my tongue and throat when I tried it. My fiance tried it and likes the initial flavor but the burn after is excruciating. I think if I attempt this again I will only use 1 or 2 habaneros and supplement the rest of the required volume with the jalapeños.
Any ideas on what I can use the 6 half pint jars of this burning jelly for? I'm thinking maybe a hot wing glaze but that might even be too much.
