Pineapple Green Chile Marmalade image

Found this in the New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service Guide E-326 (Home Canned Sweet Spreads Made with Green Chile) http://aces.nmsu.edu/pubs/_e/E-326.pdf Am up to my hips in tomatoes now so the peppers can wait a bit but I did not want to lose this gem. Sounds like it would be marvelous alongside a bit of crispy roast pork belly or high temp roasted duck when the cold rain is pounding down outside.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium lemons
2 cups pineapple, canned crushed in juice
2 cups carrots, shredded
2 cups green chili peppers, frozen chopped, thawed and drained (mild, medium, or hot)
1 cup orange juice
6 cups granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Scrub lemons. Cut a 1/4-inch slice off each end
  • of each lemon and discard these end pieces. Slice
  • lemons crosswise as thinly as possible, removing
  • any seeds.
  • Combine carrots, green chile, pineapple
  • in juice, and lemon slices in an 8-quart non-stick
  • pan. Stir in orange juice. Bring mixture to a boil
  • over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer 20
  • minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not cover the
  • pan while simmering.
  • Stir in granulated sugar. Return mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Clip a
  • candy thermometer to the side of the pan, making sure the bulb is completely submerged. Boil the marmalade until thick and the temperature reaches 218°F (adjust for elevation as needed), stirring often at the beginning and constantly toward the end of the cooking period to prevent sticking and burning. Remove from heat.
  • Ladle hot marmalade into hot jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Attach
  • two-piece lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, adjusting processing time for elevation as necessary.
