Tabasco Classic - Hot Pepper Jelly

Recipe Cuisine: Preserve
Recipe Category: Preserve
Recipe Serves: 6

Recipes Ingredients:

4 lg Red Or Green Peppers, Cored
3/4 c Cider Vinegar
- And Seeded 3 1/2
c Sugar
1 1/2 ts Tabasco Pepper Sauce
3 oz Pouch Of Fruit Pectin

Recipe Instructions:

We generally make our pepper jelly with aged Tabasco pepper mash from the factory to give it color and flavor. Although perhaps not quite as fiery, this simple recipe using the pepper Sauce makes a mellow, Spicy jelly. Spread cream Cheese on crackers, then top with a dollop of the jelly for a tempting morsel to serve with cocktails. Pectin is available in well-stocked supermarkets. Cut the peppers into large pieces, then coarsely chop in a food processor or blender. In a large non aluminum Saucepan over high heat, combine the peppers, Tabasco sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil rapidly for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the pectin. Return the pan to the heat and return to a boil. Boil the jelly for exactly 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Stirring frequently to prevent bits of pepper from rising to the surface, skim the foam off the top. Ladle the jelly into Hot sterilized jars, seal, and place on a rack in a deep kettle. Pour boiling water over the jars to cover by 2 inches and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool. Makes six 8-ounce jars.

4 tbsp lemon juice

4.1

Materials	function	% of waste	user	Disadvantage
Paper and board	Strong/light weight, cheap to produce.	5.2	Bags, boxes, packaging,	Doesn’t protect against moister
Rigid plastics	Strong, light weight, waterproof.	2.6	Bottle, tray, material	Expensive to produce and recycle, takes long to decompose
Plastic film	Flexible, waterproof, strong, light weight.	3.8	Rapping materials, bags	Expensive to recycle, can kill animals,
Glass	Strong, easy to recycle, waterproof,	6.6	Bottle, jars,	Expensive to recycle, can hurt animals, can’t decompose
metal	Strong, rigid, hard to break, can be recycle can be printed on,	5.6	Drinking cans, foil, packaging.	Does’t decompose, pollution inducing.

disadvantages of packaging

• expensive to produce to make it look nice.
• pollutes the earth because most packaging takes long to bio degrade
• uses up resources like oil which pollutes the earth when used
• increases cost of product

4.2
Glass, we think it is best to use glass because it is easily recyclable and good for the environment. Also it is strong, durable and protects against moisture.We are probably going to use a jar or a bottle, so glass is the best packaging product on our lists for these preserves.

Carbohydrates
The major source of energy for the body

Proteins
Proteins are composed of the elements carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (n). They have a variety of uses in the body, including serving as a source of energy, as substrates (starter materials) for tissue growth and maintenance, and for certain biological functions,

Lipids (fats and oils)
Lipids are high-energy yielding molecules composed mostly of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) (though lipids have a smaller number of oxygen molecules than carbohydrates have)

Vitamins (both fat-soluble and water-soluble)
Vitamins are chemical compounds that are required for normal growth and metabolism. Some vitamins are essential for a number of metabolic reactions that result in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Minerals
The functions of minerals do not include participation in the yielding of energy. But they do play vital roles in several physiological functions, including critical involvement in nervous system functioning, in cellular reactions, in water balance in the body, and in structural systems, such as the skeletal system.


Water
Some of its actions include its use as a solvent (a substance that other substances dissolve in), as a lubricant, as a conduction system for transportation of vital nutrients and unnecessary waste, and as a mode of temperature regulation.
