Apricot Pepper Marmalade

Description: Spread onto bread or crackers, or use as a condiment for baked ham or grilled meats. I like to make appetizers by spreading this marmalade on mini-biscuits and topping with smoked turkey. Very versatile.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 cups apricot jam (I use apricot fruit spread)
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• black pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Heal oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat.
2. Add peppers and onions, reduce heat to medium low and saute 3-4 minutes, until vegetables soften, not browning.
3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 20 minutes.
4. Cool marmalade and then store in refrigerator.
