Pepper Jelly

I love pepper jelly. This recipe is a mix of sweet and heat. My favorite way to use it is: Pour some pepper jelly over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers. You can't get any easier than that for an appetizer and it has always been a crowd pleaser. I like to have both items on hand, just in case I have unexpected guests. This recipe makes 3 cups of pepper jelly and it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. It also makes a great hostess or neighborly gift!

3 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, very finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, very finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno pepper, very finely chopped (seeds and ribs left in if you like it hot, or seeds and ribs removed if you like it milder)
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup cider vinegar

  • 1 (3 ounce) package certo liquid pectin

Directions

  1. 1
    Stir together the peppers, sugar and vinegar in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. 3
    Stir in the pectin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. 4
    Remove from the heat.
  5. 5
    Let cool until slightly thickened.
  6. 6
    Ladle into sterilized jars (peppers will float to the top, so stir the mixture before transferring to the jars).
  7. 7
    Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

My jelly turned out perfect! Made with a combination of Hatch and jalapeno peppers. Did not use any bell peppers as we like it hot! After cooking, I put the jelly in the three sterilized 1/2 pint jars. Placed the hot lids on them and turned upside down for about 10 minuters. Only took about two hours for them to set up. Thanks for sharing!
