Hot Pepper-apple Preserves

If a leader has to look for a message, his leadership is doomed. Leaders communicate because they cannot not communicate, and their message flows out of them as naturally as a geyser releases its energy. This is the essence of convictional leadership. The message flows out of your deepest convictions and most passionately held beliefs. The most powerful leaders are those whose beliefs function like an engine of meaning – pushing out words and messages and compelling communication.

INGREDIENTS

5	c	Sugar
2	c	Water
8		Tart apples, chopped
15		Jalapeno, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour sugar into a heavy 5 qt pot; stir in water til well blended.
Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat  to
medium and cook, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Pare and core
apples; cut into small chunks, to make about 8 cups. Slice thinly or
chop the peppers. Add apples, and peppers to sugar-water mixture.  Cook
(boiling gently) over med. heat, stirring occasionally, for 35  to 40
minutes or til preserve is thickened and apples are  translucent.
Meanwhile, prepare 6 half-pint canning jars. Fill jars  to within 1/8
inch of rim. Wipe clean and place lids and rings on  screwing on as
tight as comfortable. Let cool on a towel out of a  draft; then press
lids with your finger. If they stay down, they're  sealed. Label and
store in a cool, dark area. If not sealed, store in  refrigerator.
Makes 6 half pints. This is especially good with cream  cheese on
crackers.  NOTES : I used red jalapenos but I'm sure any hot pepper
will do just  as well. Recipe by: Peg Enroughty  Posted to MC-Recipe
