Original recipe called for 1 cup cranberries to help it gel and for color. I didn't have any. It is a beautiful light pink and gelled well without. I also made fruit leather out of the leftover pulp mixed with one cup of sugar.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lb tart apples
6 habanero chilies
1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 c white vinegar
3 c water
3 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Quarter apples. Don't peel and don't remove core. Add all ingredients except the sugar. Bring to boil and then simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a potato masher to make the consistency of runny applesauce. Don't worry about the peels.
  • 2. Suspend a colander, sieve, or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Spoon in the apple mixture. Let drain overnight. For clear jelly, just let it drain. If you squeeze, it will be cloudy.

1 tablespoon butter
8 tablespoon pectin

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh habaneros: Dried or powdered habaneros will not provide the same flavor or heat level.
  • Wear gloves when handling habaneros: The capsaicin in habaneros can irritate your skin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the jelly: Overcooked jelly will be tough and chewy.
  • Let the jelly cool completely before canning: This will help to prevent spoilage.
