Bear's 12-Chile Nuclear Napalm Jam

Made with 12 varieties of chiles (9 of which I grew on my back patio).

Rather incendiary. Quite.

I've lost my spicy-food-sensing taste buds. Ever since, I've been trying to have food which can really give me runs, but in vain.
Would love to try yours.

It's sweet and hot (very hot for this batch) and makes a great glaze for roast meats, or I just like it on English muffins.

(The traditional usage as an appetizer on cream-cheesed crackers is also good.)

Or with a crunchy Mexican or Tex/Mex dish: on fried-fish tacos, for example. Yum.

Any specific reason for keeping the seeds?

Mmmm, yes. I love this sort of thing on fish tacos! (Which I didn't think would be something anyone outside of TX would be into -- glad to hear that I was wrong!)

Naw. Sometimes I strain them out, but I didn't bother this time. I find that they don't really make a difference one way or another except for appearance.

I think it looks more festive with the seeds. I'm quite curious how it tastes.

I think so too. The seeds are also a warning of what is to come. Without the seeds, it looks rather innocuous and innocent.

I'm quite curious how it tastes.


Because this is made from a wide variety of red chiles, the heat is a full-tongue assault (the cayenne varieties hit the front tongue, while the Habaneros provide a back-tongue bloom). The sweetness, both of the sugar and of the chiles themselves is the first thing you taste, then the heat steps in. While this is very hot, it's not so hot as to obliterate the flavor, but heightens and enhances the sweet flavors of the chiles.

I'm an ardent chile-head, but I think that heat without flavor (or that overwhelms flavors) is just silly and pointless.

BEAR'S HOT RED CHILE JAM

1 1/2 lbs stemmed chiles, mixed varieties (see note below)
6 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c cider vinegar
6 oz (2 pouches) liquid pectin

1. Sterilize jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

2. Put the chile flesh in a food processor with 1/2 c of the vinegar and pulse to a mash.

3. Place the chile mash, sugar, and remaining vinegar into a wide stock pot and bring to a boil.

4. Once the sugar is dissolved, add pectin. Stir well.

5. Boil until jelling stage is reached (cold-plate testing method recommended).

6. Ladle hot mixture into sterilized jars and affix tops and bands.

7. Process the jars for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.

NOTES

Mix the chiles based upon how hot you want the jam. You can use all hot chiles for a blisteringly hot jam, or use one pound of sweet red bell peppers and .5 lbs of hot chiles for a jam with a temperate amount of heat.

Seeding the chiles is optional. Larger chiles should probably always be seeded as the seeds are large and tough. Smaller chiles are harder to seed, and I usually don't bother.

This recipe is easily adapted to make a jewel red chile jelly. Ask, and I'll post it as well.

This could be the reason that the Indians use water instead of papers in their toilets
