Red Pepper Jelly

Brighten up your table with this beautiful red pepper jelly that balances sweetness with a hint of heat. Whether you spread it on a bagel or use it as a dip, it’s sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

To get started, gather the following ingredients:

1 1/2 cups finely chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat)
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Here’s a straightforward method to create this delicious jelly:

In a large pot, combine the red bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, add the sugar and mix until it completely dissolves. Bring the mixture back to a boil.
Add the fruit pectin to the boiling mixture, and stir constantly for about 1–2 minutes, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Allow the mixture to boil for an additional minute, then remove it from heat.
Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue.
Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 5–10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly.
Once done, allow the jars to cool at room temperature. You’ll want to check that the lids have sealed properly by pressing down in the center – if it pops back up, it needs to be refrigerated and used soon!

Once your jelly is ready, let it sit for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. This red pepper jelly is not only a unique addition to your meals but also makes for a fantastic gift!
