Hello Bobbie. I am happy to hear you are going to try this recipe. I have folded whip cream into this mixture before. I does work well. Be sure to fold in about a third of the whipped cream first, which will loosed the mixture and make it easier for the rest to be added without deflating. As far as how long it will hold that is a tough question to answer. First of all it will depend on how well the cream is whipped and added. In my experience after a couple days anything I have added whipped cream to will begin to lose its volume. I hope this helps and good luck with your dessert. Let me know how it works or you! Thanks!

It is recommended to process 1/2 pints for 10 minutes. There are some guide lines for adjusting times for elevation. If you live at 1,000 ft to 6,000 ft – 10 minutes, above 6,000 ft – 15 minutes. At sea level you need only process 5 minutes. I hope that helps you. Good luck with your project!

I plan to uses 1/2 pints in canning instead of pints. How long do I water bath?

I would recommend Anaheim peppers, they are the closest to hatch chilis. Poblano might make a delicious jelly as well. Please let me know how it turns out if you use them.

It’s one pound after peeling and seeding. I hope this helps.

Happy to hear you liked the recipe. Chocolate chips would make a great addition! Thanks for sharing!!

What a surprise! Great recipe. Used regular cookie scoop and got about 3 dozen. Added chocolate chips. Will make again!

I am glad you like the recipe, it is delicious. I have never prepared this a day ahead. I would think it would be fine, just make sure your fish is completely thawed if using frozen. Let me know if you try it, I will be interested to hear how it works for you. Thanks for sharing!
