Winter canning is well worth the effort. A few days ago, after waiting two weeks for the flavor to set in, I opened my first jar of Habanero Gold jelly. I think I've found my calling. I'm going to become a jelly maker. Move over Smuckers, here comes arugula files. This jelly is sweet and hot--a perfect date for sharp cheese, like cheddar, or something creamy, like brie. Serve with cheese on salty crackers and your eyes will roll to the back of your head.
You can find the recipe and directions on how to prepare the jars so that you don't kill anyone right here. Next up: ginger and plum marmalade.
