BLACKBERRY PEPPER JELLY



Blackberry Pepper Jelly image

I love making pepper jelly with fresh garden peppers. I grow them every summer, and every summer I make pepper jelly to enjoy and gift to family and friends. I thought this year I would try something different. My fiance loves blackberries and we recently purchased a ton of them - So I thought I would add some to my pepper...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c apple cider vinegar
5 medium jalapeno peppers
1 poblano pepper
1 bell pepper
6 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
18 oz blackberries
6 Tbsp powdered pectin

Steps:

  • 1. You can adjust the heat of the jelly by removing the seeds from the jalapenos. I like the sweet heat of them in this jelly so I keep them.
  • 2. Finely dice the jalapenos. I don't have gloves so I just use a sandwich bag over my hand to avoid touching the peppers while dicing them.
  • 3. Finely dice and seed the poblano and bell pepper.
  • 4. In a large dutch oven, heat cider vinegar and sugar on medium heat until sugar has dissolved.
  • 5. Add peppers and cook until boiling.
  • 6. Add berries and sprinkle pectin over mixture and stir in a tablespoon at a time.
  • 7. Boil for 5 minutes.
  • 8. Ladle into hot sterilized jars and boil for 10 minutes. Remove and let set for 24 hours before tasting. This will make great holiday gifts. Not only is it great with cream cheese and crackers, but it pairs very well with chicken. Grilled chicken wings tossed in the jelly is amazing! Enjoy

My friend and I had tried a fruity jam with jalapenos at a local vineyard and this is the version I created. I like this spread on crackers with cream cheese, on hamburgers or even on grilled cheese. For extra heat, add the seeds of a few jalapenos to the jam. -Lisa Keim, Watertown, New York

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
3 cups water, warm
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup ice cubes
2 pounds pork tenderloin, silver skin removed
Blackberry Jalapeno Glaze, recipe follows
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 to 2 roasted jalapenos, seeded, minced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup seedless blackberry preserves
1 1/4 cups wine, preferably Merlot, divided
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in the warm water. Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, ice cubes and the pork. Brine for exactly 20 minutes. The pork becomes mealy if its brined longer.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the Blackberry Jalapeno Glaze.
  • Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Rub the pork with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
  • Add the pork tenderloin and cook for 6 minutes on each side, browning evenly and the internal temperature registers 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. At this point, evenly spread 1/4 cup of the glaze over the pork. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork from heat to a cutting board and keep it warm tented with aluminum foil.
  • Slice the pork, arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve with remaining warm glaze.
  • Add the butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the jalapenos and garlic and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the blackberry preserves and 1 cup wine and combine well.

BLACKBERRY JALAPENO JAM RECIPES RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Blackberry Jalapeno Jam Recipes Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by lorik

Number Of Ingredients 14

Variation:
4 cups of blackberry juice (36 oz of blackberries made 2 cups of juice for me. So about 72 oz of blackberries. That is 6-7 of the 12 oz containers.)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 green and 1 red jalapeno minced
3 1/2 cups white sugar
1 box sure-jell pectin
1/2 teaspoon butter
Makes about 10 - 12 half pint jars
2 packages powdered pectin
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup white sugar
8 cups smashed blackberries ( I used a potato masher)
6 peppers, minced
7 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Fill water canner half way with water and bring to a simmer. Sterilize your jars and lids and keep them warm for when you fill to prevent the jars from breaking. Mix Sure Jell packet and 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Crush your black berries one layer at a time in a mixing bowl with the potato masher. You don't want to mash them so much it becomes think to where there isn't juice. Just enough to extract the juice. Place your cheese cloth (You will need 4 packages of cheese cloth or a roll of it. I found these in the automotive section in Wal-mart) in another bowl and pour the blackberries onto it. Tie up the corners (Or pull them up and twist them) and allow the juice to drip through into the bowl. (I use my glass 2 measuring cup) You can squeeze gently if you want to, but do not squeeze it so the berries get to compacted in the cheese cloth or it is hard for the juice to come through. This process can be tedious and take a while. Measure exactly 4 cups of juice and pour into a sauce pan. Note: you can rinse your cheese cloth out a few times and squeeze out excess water and reuse. You don't want to do this more than twice or you might get some of the fabric in the juice. Mix the black berry juice, pectin mixture, the red and green jalapeno, and butter into your sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil on high heat that doesn't stop boiling when you stir it. Stir in remaining sugar and return to a boil. Boil for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam in the pan. To make sure that the jelly is of the right consistency, place a small saucer in the freezer. Remove, once cold, and put a small amount of jelly on the plate. Run your finger or spoon through it and if it doesn't flow back into the other liquid then your set! Fill jars up to 1/4 inch from the rim. Wipe off the brims of the jars and place the lids and rings on the jars. Put the jars on the rack in your water canner and lower into the water. Process for 5 minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let cool on a towel. Once the jars are cool, gently press on the lids to make sure they don't pop back. If they do they aren't sealed. Variation: Mix the pectin and cornstarch with 1 cup of sugar in a bowl. Stir the blackberries, pectin mixture and peppers in a saucepan. Bring to boil for 1 full minute. Add the 7 cups sugar and return to a rolling boil until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 1-3 minutes Remove from heat. Ladle into sterile jars and seal them in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.

Tips:

- To ensure the best quality jelly, use ripe, firm blackberries. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold plate test to check for doneness. Place a small plate in the freezer before you start cooking the jelly. When the jelly reaches 220°F (104°C), spoon a small amount onto the cold plate. If the jelly wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready. - Let the jelly cool completely before storing it. This will help it to set properly. - Store the jelly in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 1 year.

Conclusion:

Blackberry jalapeno jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on sandwiches, crackers, or toast. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken, fish, or pork. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this jelly is sure to please.
