Easiest Hot Pepper Jelly

Recipe #68118 | 7 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Ever since I made the Brie Kisses appetizer recipe I have become addicted to Hot Pepper jelly. I spent a small fortune on small jars and then decided to try to make it myself. Well lets just say I don't have the nack for jelly making. However a friend of mine told me this method and boy my life has changed forever and it takes a whole five minutes to make. Okay, realistically less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are with a knife.

1 jar (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Spoon out apple jelly into a saucepan.
  2. 2
    Add chopped jalapenos.
  3. 3
    Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes.
  4. 4
    (This could also be done in a microwave).
  5. 5
    You can add a drop or two of food coloring if you want.
  6. 6
    Pour mixture into sterilized jar and lid; turn upside down for 5 minutes, then upright and it will seal.
  7. 7
    Or you can do it the lazy the way like I did- I poured it back into the jar I bought the apple jelly in (didn't even rinse the jar out), tightened the lid on and turn upside down and it sealed itself again.
  8. 8
    (I should put a disclaimer that I am not sure if you should do it the lazy way or not-but I keep the jar in the frig-no worries!).

I use to buy Hot Pepper Jelly at kraft events from vendors. I love the taste, but I don't personally have the time to make from scratch. I use to purchase from Harry & Davids their onion & pepper relish in its place when I got a chance. I tried this over the weekend. It was super easy and quick. I might try to use more jalapeno peppers and maybe a little bit of the juice to make it hotter. This was a great idea...thank you so much for posting it.

    I made this for a friend and made an extra jar for our house as well. I made it even easier by using canned jalapenos. For my twin granddaughter's 1st birthday today I served it over a block of cream cheese with wheat thins on the side and everyone declare it "delicious"! I agree....easy and delicious are both high on my list too! I used a 4-oz can of chopped jalapenos, rinsed and chopped even more, with two 18 oz jars of apple jelly. For me, it was not hot enough, my mistake though. Next time I'll use a can for each jar. I LOVE this recipe and plan on adding jars of this to my holiday baskets.

    Delicious! I made this for Thanksgiving and poured it over a block of cream cheese to serve with crackers for an appetizer. It was soooo good, that I'm going to make these for Christmas gifts and add a personal label to each jar. Thanks for a great inexpensive (and delicious) gift idea!

    This get five stars for being truly easy and very good. Apple jelly is not available where I live therefore I used Apricot and it was delicious. I also added a small amount of green bellpepper.
