Sour cherry jelly with a lot of Habanero Pepper. This is the hottest jelly we make. And face it, how could we not make a jelly called Cherry Obsession as soon as we saw it in a cookbook?
This jelly is full of flavour and is wonderful in thumbprint cookies. Also used in Cumberland Sauce and can be added to any gravy for some extra flavour. Also makes an excellent glaze for fresh fruit tarts.
The recipe was discovered in a British cookbook. We first made it with citrus fruits left over from other marmalades. Now we pick a day in February, the height of citrus season, and buy some of each variety of citrus fruit available on that day. We leave out the more bitter peel such as lime or grapefruit and as a result, a very fresh citrus flavour dominates. It is thick with fruit and slightly different every year.
