1. Wash Raspberries and remove any green stalks or leaves
2. Wash Habaneros and remove stalks
3. Wash Jalapenos, cut in half and remove membrane, seeds and stalks
4. Put in blender along with ½ of Vinegar. Blend until smooth
5. Transfer into Pot.
6. Use remainder of vinegar to wash out the blender into the pot
7. Bring Mixture to boil, stirring occasionally
8. Cover and then let simmer for 20 minutes
9. Strain contents into another pan
10. Put liquid into pan, stir in sugar, liquid pectin and scorpion powder
11. Bring to a vigorous boil stirring continually . Boil for 1 minute then remove heat
12. Skim Foam if necessary

Ladle Jelly into hot sterilized jars leaving ¼’ headroom, seal the jars and then Boil jars for 5 minutes.

This Jelly set very fast. It was already starting to set when I was filling the Jars. This made it very difficult to skim foam.

The final product complete with spelling mistake on the label (makes it a collectors item)

Took some samples into work today and had rave reviews all round and people asking me to make them some. Very pleased with the taste especially on cheese and crackers.
