This zippy and versatile jam was a blue-ribbon winner at our county fair. I mix it with applesauce as a condiment for pork, with cranberry sauce for poultry and with cream cheese as a spread on celery sticks. It's a beautiful color...and in "hot" demand as a gift item! -Janet Eckhoff Woodland, California

Couldn't decide to use two peppers afraid it would be mild and not four because it would be too hot so settled for three and it was just perfect! This jam rocks, I've been canning for over twenty years now and was looking for something alittle different... Prep was pretty easy using the food processor on pulse to give me a nice texture and the blender to make combine the habaneros with the apricot mixture. The flavor is incredible and it makes eleven half pints so it's nice for gift giving.
