Habanero Mustard Food

HOT HABANERO MUSTARD

Steps:

• 1. First cut up your habanero peppers, you want to use the seeds too. (I usually get my hubby to do this part for me as I have contacts). Or you can use gloves.
• 2. Combine the vinegar, water, salt and peppers and simmer on medium heat until the peppers are tender. Usually takes about 6 to 7 minutes. The fumes will eventually get to you and you will start to cough so be very careful.
• 3. While the peppers are cooking, in a separate bowl combine your sugar, flour, dry mustard and the turmeric and mix well and then add your mustard to the mix.
• 4. Add the mustard mixture to the pepper mixture and mix well, stirring frequently until thicken.
• 5. Spoon the hot mixture into 8 sterilized hot 1/2 pint jars leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal with prepared lids, according to their instructions, I place my lids and rings in a saucepan, add water, and heat the water up, not to a boil, you just want them warm and remove from heat. Process jars in a hot water bath for 5 minutes.
