Red Pepper Mustard Food

RED PEPPER MUSTARD

Steps:

• Sauté the onions, red peppers, habenero pepper in the olive oil.
• Add the vinegar, sugar, spices and continue to sauté so the the spices sweat with the vegetables.
• Add the apricot nectar and frozen orange juice concentrate. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Mix the flour and water together carefully so that you have no lumps and pour into the bubbly peppers. Whisk until thick.
• Pour the hot mixture into sterilized jars, clean the top of jar and then close with the tops and rings. Process the mustard in a water bath for 10 minutes after the water boils, or 20 minutes in a steam canner.

ROASTED RED PEPPER MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Place pepper under broiler, and roast until blackened on all sides. Remove, and let cool. Peel away skin and seeds, and discard. Pull pepper into 3 or 4 long pieces and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oils. As they emulsify, add oils a little faster, in a slow steady stream. When mixture is thick, taste and adjust seasoning. It should be highly seasoned.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender or a food processor, add the pepper and puree. Taste, and adjust the seasoning before serving.

GARLIC AND RED PEPPER MAYONNAISE

• Blend until peppers are ground fine.

• Cook until peppers are tender.
• Strain through cheesecloth and return liquid to large boiler.
• In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, flour, turmeric, dry mustard and mustard.
• Stir well, making a paste.
• Add to boiler and cook over low heat until everything is blended well.
• Slowly bring up to a boil, stirring constantly.
• It will stick if it is not stirred constantly.
• It will thicken as soon as it gets to a boil.
• Turn off and dip into prepared jars.
• Be sure to wipe rim of jars completely clean with warm towel and place preheated lids on jars and tighten rings.
• I use the inversion method of sealing the lids which is to turn upside down for 5 minutes.
• Many think this is unsafe, so there is no harm in processing in a water bath for 5 to 10 minutes if it will make you feel a little more comfortable.
• Turn upright after 5 minutes and allow to cool completely before moving.
