Peach habanero sounds Nummy!!! I love jalapeno jelly...VERY good to serve over a block of cream cheese, or use as a glaze for chickens. Am going to try my hand at agarita jelly this summer. I've never done jellies before. MIL went up to Seguin this past weekend to pick agaritas (a kind of wild currant) and I am all aflutter to have some.

I have never had agarita jelly! That one sounds like something I'd like to try too! Since I am not working this summer I am determined to scour the countryside for prickly pears too. I like to make jelly from them but they are the pickiest sort of fruit to work with. Last year I got some but you really have to use them the day you pick them or they turn nasty. And they are only good to pick for about 2 or 3 days so you have to be right there at the right time and be ready to do it!

If you make jelly you will probably start to like doing it. Funny thing is, I don't even eat jelly much. I prolly don't finish a pint a year. But, for some inconceiveable reason I just love making the stuff! Kinda of an addictive hobby IMO.

If you like jalapeno jelly I also have this incredibly awesome recipe for apricot-jalapeno jelly if you want it. That one is my friend Marty's favorite of the jellies that I make. Besides just eatin' it, she uses it as a glaze over anything she cooks on the grill. It is really nice to make unusual stuff like that and have someone appreciate it so much! :-)
