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.

JALAPENO JELLY



Jalapeno Jelly image

From the Ball Blue Book of Preserving. A little different than other recipes as it uses only jalapeno peppers. Be sure to wear disposable or rubber gloves while cutting and seeding jalapenos. I did not add the optional food coloring and got 6 half-pints. Great over cream cheese or for use in recipes. Please be sure you are familiar with hot water bath canning procedures. For more information, check out the Canning Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=24. Whenever making large quantities of jams or jellies, be sure not to double the recipe. Just make successive batches in assembly-line fashion; otherwise, they won't set. The amount of vinegar is correct:)

Jalapeno-Lime-Garlic Jelly image

This is the ultimate flavor combination. Uses are endless from a topping for cream cheese to a grill sauce for lamb chops or mix well with sour cream for a dip for quesadillas! The pretty green color comes from the zest of the lime, not food coloring. You can make this as spicy as you like by including the pepper's seeds and membranes, or not. The 24 hour cooking time is just the time it takes for the jelly to set up. Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 25m

Yield Makes 1 2/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
8 jalapeno or serrano peppers, 2 whole; 6 stemmed, seeded, and minced (2/3 cup)
2/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon calcium water (calcium and instructions included with Pomona's Universal Pectin, below)
1 teaspoon Pomona's Universal Pectin

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, mint, whole jalapenos, and 1 cup water to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt have dissolved. Simmer 1 minute more. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Strain syrup through a sieve, reserving 1 tablespoon mint before discarding solids.
  • Meanwhile, in another saucepan, bring vinegar and calcium water to a boil. Remove from heat;stir in minced peppers.
  • Whisk pectin into 1/4 cup syrup. Add to vinegar-pepper mixture and return to medium-high heat, stirring until mixture returns to a simmer and pectin dissolves, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining mint syrup and reserved mint. Transfer mixture to heatproof resealable jars with lids; let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month, or follow our canning instructions and store at room temperature up to 1 year.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of peppers: Different peppers have different levels of heat, so you can adjust the spiciness of your jelly by using a mix of peppers.
  • Roast the peppers before using them: Roasting the peppers brings out their flavor and sweetness.
  • Use fresh peppers: Fresh peppers will give your jelly the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the jelly: Overcooking the jelly will make it tough and chewy.
  • Let the jelly cool completely before using it: This will allow the jelly to set properly.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno mesquite jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for adding a touch of heat and flavor to grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a spread for sandwiches and crackers. No matter how you use it, jalapeno mesquite jelly is sure to please everyone at your table.
