Categories     Toppings

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 jalapeno peppers (half seeded)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (or orange) (chopped)
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3 ounce pouch liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Place all peppers in a food processor and pulse until peppers are finely chopped. Empty into a mesh strainer and drain off excess liquid.
  • Place the chopped vegetables in a large stock pot and add in the sugar, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for 10 minutes. Add the pectin and boil 1 more minute. Remove from heat
  • Ladle jam into hot sterile jars using a wide mouth funnel. Leave 1/4 inch headspace. Top the jars with the lids, screwing them on with just your thumb and index finger (this is to ensure that it is on but not too tight that the air can't escape).
  • Place jars back on the rack and lower into the water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. (Add 1 more minute for each 1000 ft elevation above 1000 ft.)
  • Remove and place on a towel about 1 inch apart. After a few minutes you should start to hear the cans seal with a pop. Leave the jars untouched on the counter for 12 hours.
  • To check for a proper seal, remove the the ring of the lid and lift the can up off the counter 1-2 inches while holding the edges of the lid. If the lid stays attached the jelly is sealed properly and can be stored on the shelf (screw bands removed).
  • If a seal did not form or if you opened the lid and broke the seal, jelly can be stored in the fridge.
  • Let jelly rest 1 day before opening to allow it to fully set up and be thick.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Use fresh, ripe jalapeños for the best flavor. If you prefer a milder jelly, remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before chopping. For a spicier jelly, leave the seeds and ribs in.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: White vinegar is the most common type of vinegar used in pepper jelly, but you can also use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. Choose a vinegar that has a clean, crisp flavor.
  • Add some sweetness: Sugar is the most common sweetener used in pepper jelly, but you can also use honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. The amount of sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Add some pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps the jelly to set. You can use commercial pectin or you can make your own pectin from apples or citrus fruits.
  • Be careful when handling the peppers: Jalapeños can irritate your skin and eyes, so be sure to wear gloves when handling them. If you do get any pepper juice on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

Conclusion:

Homemade jalapeño pepper jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a spread on sandwiches or crackers, as a glaze for chicken or fish, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers. It can also be added to marinades, sauces, and dressings. With a little bit of time and effort, you can easily make your own jalapeño pepper jelly at home.
