Ingredients

To make the Red Pepper Jelly, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 packet (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Certo)
4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Red Pepper Jelly:

Start by preparing your jars. Sterilize them in boiling water and keep them hot until you’re ready to fill them.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped red bell peppers and apple cider vinegar. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, add the fruit pectin and stir vigorously for one minute until it dissolves completely.
Stir in the granulated sugar, salt, and chili flakes (if using). Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil, and boil for exactly one minute while stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
Pour the hot jelly into the prepared sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars to ensure a clean seal.
Seal the jars with lids and bands, tightening the bands just until resistance is met. Process in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to ensure a proper seal.
Allow the jars to cool at room temperature for 24 hours. You should hear the satisfying “pop” sound that indicates they are sealed. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator.

Your Red Pepper Jelly is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it with your favorite cheese, or give it as a thoughtful gift. Whichever way you choose to indulge, this vibrant, homemade jelly is bound to impress your guests and family alike.
