Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly

This jelly combines the tropical sweetness of pineapple with the fiery heat of habanero peppers, creating a vibrant flavor that will have everyone coming back for more!

Ingredients

1 cup crushed pineapple (fresh or canned, drained)
1 cup finely diced habanero peppers (about 2 to 3 peppers, adjust to taste)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
4 cups granulated sugar
1 packet (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large pot, combine the crushed pineapple, diced habanero peppers, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to get those flavors mingling.
After 10 minutes, add the sugar and salt to the pot. Stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture comes to a full boil.
Once boiling, mix in the fruit pectin, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for about 1-2 minutes, making sure that everything is well combined and the mixture thickens up nicely.
Now it’s time to jar up that goodness! Pour the hot jelly into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.
For best results, process the jars in a water bath for about 5-10 minutes to ensure they’re sealed and safe to store.
Let your jelly cool at room temperature before storing it in a cool, dark place. It’ll be even better after letting those flavors settle for about a week!

And there you have it! A sweet and spicy Pineapple Habanero Pepper Jelly that’s easy to make and delicious to eat. Spread it on some crackers with cream cheese, mix it into a marinade, or just grab a spoon and enjoy straight from the jar. Happy cooking!
