You’ll be in for a treat today as we explore the lovely world of jalapeno jelly, which was created by none other than the Pioneer Woman. Your dishes will be taken to a whole new level with the help of this spicy and sweet spice. So let’s put on our working clothes and get set to make a jar of delicious jalapenos that will make your family and friends hanker after more.
INGREDIENTS
- 12 fresh jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 6 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pouches (3 ounces each) liquid pectin
- A pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation is Key:
-
Jalapeno, green, and red bell peppers should all be washed and chopped. When handling jalapenos, don’t forget to wear gloves to prevent undesired spice from getting on your skin or in your eyes.
Blend the Peppers:
-
In a food processor, add the chopped peppers and pulse several times to finely mince them. If you want a texture with more chunks, you may also do this manually.
Combine Ingredients:
-
Add the peppers, apple cider vinegar, and a dash of salt to your big saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring this mixture to a rolling boil.
Add Sugar:
-
The granulated sugar should completely dissolve as you add it in by stirring. Use a thermometer for accuracy and let the mixture continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a temperature of 220°F.
Incorporate Pectin:
-
Stir in the liquid pectin pouches after turning off the heat in the saucepan. Ensure thorough blending.
Jar It Up:
-
Carefully spoon the hot jalapeño jelly into sterilized jars using the canning equipment, leaving a 1/4-inch space at the top. To guarantee a good seal, wipe the jar rims with a moist cloth.
Seal and Process:
-
Then, tightly screw the lids onto the jars. To properly seal the jars, process them in a water bath canner for around 10 minutes.
Cool and Enjoy:
-
Check that the lids have shut by pressing down on the middle of each after the jars have cooled. You’ve successfully sealed your jalapeno jelly if they don’t pop back up. For up to a year, keep in a cold, dark location.
