Peach Habanero Pepper Burger Food

SMOKIN' HOT HABANERO HAMBURGER

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl add all of the ingredients and stir until fully combined.
• Form the beef mix into hamburger patties then grill outdoors or on an indoor frying or grilling pan.
• Top with pepper jack and garnish with pickled jalapeño pepper rings, onions, lettuce, tomato, or pickles (optional).

PEACH HABANERO HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a boiling water bath canner and enough jars to hold 4 pints of hot sauce (you can also can this in 8 half pint jars or 15 12-ounce jelly jars).
• Combine the peaches, vinegar, sugar, onion, peppers, garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a low, wide, non-reactive pan.
• Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the contents of the pan are bubbling, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches, peppers, and onions are tender.
• Remove the pot from the heat and puree using an immersion blender.
• Funnel into the prepared jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, remove the lid from the pot and turn off the heat. Let the jars rest in the cooling water for five minutes. When that time is up, remove jars and set them on a folded kitchen towel to cool.
• When the resting time is up, remove the jars and set them on a folded kitchen towel to cool. When the jars/bottles have cooled enough that you can comfortable handle them, check the seals. Sealed jars/bottles can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. Any unsealed jars/bottles should be refrigerated and used promptly.

GREG'S HOT PEACH PIE

Steps:

• Place 1 1/2 cup of flour and the salt into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse briefly once or twice to combine. Add 9 tablespoons of chilled unsalted butter, and pulse 4 or 5 times, a few seconds per time, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. With the machine running, drizzle the peach nectar into the dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough gathers itself into a crumbly mass. Transfer the dough into a bowl, form into a ball, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to hydrate the dough, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the 4 chopped peaches into the food processor, and pulse to puree, about 1 minute. Add the minced habanero peppers, 1 teaspoon at a time, and puree until smooth. Place the remaining 6 sliced peaches into a bowl, and toss lightly with the habanero puree.
• In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup of flour, the white sugar, and 1/4 cup of softened unsalted butter until it forms a crumbly mixture; set the streusel aside.
• Cut the dough in half, and roll each half into a circle about 10 inches in diameter. Fit one dough circle into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the peach-habanero filling into the bottom pie crust, and sprinkle with the crumbly sugar streusel. Fit the top crust onto the pie, and crimp with a fork to seal the edges. Cut several slits into the top crust for venting steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and thickened, about 50 minutes.

PEACH HABANERO JAM

Steps:

• Peel, chop & crush peaches. Pulsing them in Cuisinart to a chunky consistency works well. Crushing with a potato masher works well too. Do not over process in food processor as cooking breaks them down too.
• WEARING GLOVES (seriously), split habaneros and remove seeds and most of pith holding seeds. Reserve the pith & seeds to add back to jam if it is not hot enough for your tastes (OMG).
• Split red peppers, de-seed & chop coarsely.
• Process habaneros and red peppers of choice to mince. Do not process until smooth, just a mince, finer than the peach chop.
• Measure 4 cups of peach crush and 1 cup pepper mince into a 6 to 8 quart nonreactive pot. Add the white grape juice, lemon juice, turmeric and butter (optional - but reduces foaming). Gradually stir in pectin. Bring to a full boil over med-high heat, stirring constantly.
• Add sugar. Return to a full boil and boil hard for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Taste and decide whether you want to add some Habanero pith and/or seeds (not for me thanks and I like it hot!). Go easy though as you probably want an edible finished product.
• Ladle jam hot into freshly boiled half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean with a clean dish towel dipped in hot water if necessary so the lids will seal well. Adjust rings until resistance is just met.
• Load jars into boiling water bath, cover and process 10 minutes. Make sure jars are covered by at least 2 inches of water and water is gently boiling.
• After processing, remove jars and place on a towel to cool for 12 to 24 hours.
• Remove bands, wipe sealed jars with a cool damp cloth. Label and store in a dark, cool. dry place for up a year -- as if it be around that long!

SPICY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the beef, garlic, jalapeno peppers, poblano pepper, habanero pepper, red pepper flakes, cilantro, and cumin. Form into burger patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place burgers on grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done.
