Ingredients:
Each infusion kit comes with one food grade infusion bag, dehydrated lime slices, dehydrated jalapeno slices, dehydrated orange peel, dehydrated pomegranate arils and pure raw cane sugar. Also included is a package of dehydrated lime wheels for garnishing your cocktails and a package of Chili Lime Rim Salt. We always use only the freshest ingredients and never use any preservatives.
Directions:
A one litre glass jar with a tight-fitting lid makes an ideal container for infusing. We like to use a mason jar. You could also recycle a one litre pickle jar if you like. Just be certain it is scrupulously clean.
- Put the infusion bag with it’s contents into your glass container. Set the bag of garnishes aside for later use.
- Add 2 cups of Your Favourite Tequila, Mescal or Sotol to the infusion vessel, making certain the infusion bag is fully covered. If it is not covered, add a little additional tequila until the bag is submerged.
- Close the jar with the lid and set it on your counter for 3-6 days. Be sure to give the jar a shake a few times a day to be certain flavours are dispersing in the liquid.
- After a minimum of 3 days has passed, remove the infusing bag. We suggest placing the bag in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Squeeze the contents of the infusion bag to release any liquid.
- Remove the bag from the strainer and discard, then pour the contents of your jar into the strainer to remove any bits of fruit that may have escaped the jar.
- Wash your jar and pour the infused liquid back into the jar.
- Put the infused alcohol into the refrigerator until read to use.
Storage:
Your Jalapeno Margarita Cocktail infusion will keep in the fridge for at least 6 months and will make 8 – 10 cocktails, depending on how strong you make them.
Serving Suggestion:
Don't own Margarita glasses? No problem. Old Fashioned/Rocks glasses or stemless martini glasses are perfect for serving up your Jalapeno Margarita.
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and then dip into the included Chili Lime mixture. Set the glass aside.
- Grab a cocktail shaker or a clean mason jar with a lid and add ice cubes, 2 oz of your Jalapeno Margarita Cocktail infusion and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Give it a good shake to chill the mixture.
- Next fill your salted glass three-quarters full of crushed ice, and then strain the chilled Jalapeno Margarita mixture into the glass. garnish with a lime wheel from the garnish package and serve.
Mocktails anyone? All our infusion kits make delicious mocktails for those times when you prefer a Zero Alcohol beverage. We suggest you infuse your kit in water or juice and then top with additional juice or flavoured sparkling water.
What's Cooking?
Can I use my pepper jelly in cooking?
Yes, by all means! Pepper jelly makes an incredible glaze for meats, fish and vegetables. Try brushing pepper jelly on a slab of seasoned salmon before baking it in a 425F oven for about 10 minutes, (depending on the thickness of your fish). When it is done, run it under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes to finish.
What can I do with the little bit of pepper jelly I have left in my jar?
Make a quick vinaigrette to dress up a simple salad of leafy greens by adding a little oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to the remaining pepper jelly. Add a few berries or some seeds and toss to coat everything lightly before serving.
Can I bake with pepper jelly?
Absolutely! Get creative in your kitchen. Try making a sharp cheddar shortbread thumbprint cookie and fill the center with any of our pepper jellies for a sweet and savory appetizer.
Or even easier, line mini tart tins with ready made puff pastry, add a small cube of cream cheese to each tin and top with a teaspoon of pepper jelly. Bake according to the directions on your puff pastry box.
