The phrase "Hindsight in a wonderful thing" is wrong. Hindsight is a terrible thing. I was making Chili jelly using my own home-grown chillies and feeling good about it as I chopped them up happily. Without wearing gloves. Three hours later I was in excruciating pain all over my hands. I tried milk, alcohol, salt, soap, cold water. None worked. I finally got to sleep at 3.30 in the morning. And what had hindsight given me? just the endlessly repeated question "Why oh why didn't you put your gloves on? You knew it would hurt" Not helpful.
The jelly looks and tastes great though
