⅓ cup olive oil
3 cups chopped red bell peppers
1 ½ cups minced onion
1 tablespoon chopped habanero pepper
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 (11 ounce) can apricot nectar
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
½ cup water
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

Immerse nine 8-ounce jars in simmering water. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add red bell peppers, onion, and habanero pepper; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, vinegar, garam masala, and coriander; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir apricot nectar and orange juice concentrate into the skillet. Bring to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes.
Whisk water and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl until no lumps remain. Pour into the skillet; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
Pack mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Store in a cool, dark area.
