Recipe Introduction
For a regular sweet preserve, just delete the habaneros.
1 pound dried apricots -- soaked overnight
1 orange
1 lemon
1 large can crushed pineapple
4 Habanero chiles, seeded and minced
8 cups sugar
Soak apricots overnight. Grind apricots. Grate 1 orange and 1 lemon rind. Add to apricots. Then add juice of orange and lemon. Add can crushed pineapple and sugar. Mix well.
Cook rapidly for 15 minutes (stirring to keep from scorching). Count cooking time from when mixture is hot and bubbly around edge of pan. Pack while hot in sterilized jars. Makes about 5 pints.
Very good.
