Spicy Jalapeño Jelly
Ingredients
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • 12 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces liquid pectin
  • 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Combine the finely chopped green bell pepper with 12 whole jalapeño peppers in a food processor or blender, processing them in batches if required; continue chopping until they reach a fine consistency.
3
Transfer the chopped peppers to a large saucepan and add cider vinegar, stirring until well combined. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat before reducing the heat and simmering for 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Pass the pepper mixture through at least two layers of cheesecloth, discarding the solids and retaining about 1 cup of liquid.
5
Return the liquid to the saucepan, adding salt and sugar until they are fully dissolved. Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Once this occurs, stir in the liquid pectin and continue boiling for one minute.
6
Add the remaining finely chopped jalapeño peppers to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
7
Fill sterile jars with the jelly mixture, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace to allow for expansion during storage.
8
Submerge the sealed jars in a hot water bath and refrigerate them once the seal is broken to preserve the jelly.
