Yield Makes 4 to 5 (1/2-pint) jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb red bell peppers (about 3), cut into 1-inch pieces (6 cups)
2 teaspoons dried hot red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons Sure-Jell less- or no-sugar-needed pectin (from a 1 3/4-oz box)
3 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
5 (1/2-pint) canning jars with screw bands and lids; an instant-read or candy thermometer; canning tongs

Steps:

  • Sterilize jars and lids:
  • Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot, soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw bands. Put empty jars on a rack in a boiling-water canner or a deep 8- to 10-quart pot and add enough hot water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered, then boil 10 minutes. Remove canner from heat, leaving jars in water, covered. Heat lids in water to cover by 2 inches in a small saucepan until thermometer registers 180°F (do not let boil). Remove from heat. Keep jars and lids submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make jelly:
  • Pulse bell peppers with red-pepper flakes in a food processor until finely chopped. (Mixture will measure about 2 1/2 cups.)
  • Whisk together pectin and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl.
  • Stir together pepper mixture, vinegar, butter, salt, and remaining 3 cups sugar in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot. Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat, then continue to boil vigorously, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Gradually add pectin mixture, whisking constantly. Return jelly to a vigorous boil, stirring constantly, and boil, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes (mixture will thicken slightly). Remove from heat.
  • Carefully remove jars and lids with canning tongs, then drain jars upside down on a clean kitchen towel and quickly dry lids. Invert jars and immediately ladle hot jelly into jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at top. (Last jar may not be full.) Run a clean plastic spatula between jelly and sides of jars to eliminate air bubbles. Wipe off rims of filled jars with a damp clean kitchen towel, then firmly screw on lids with screw bands.
  • Seal and process jars:
  • Put sealed jars on rack in canner or pot and add enough hot water to cover by 2 inches. (If you have a jar that is partially full, do not process it. Cover it with a lid and screw band, then keep in refrigerator.) Bring to a full boil, covered, then boil jelly, covered, 15 minutes. Transfer jars with canning tongs to a towel-lined surface to cool. Jars will seal; if you hear a ping, that means that the vacuum formed above the cooling jelly has made the lid concave. Remember that you may or may not be around to hear the ping. The important thing is for the jars to eventually have concave lids. Jelly will thicken as it cools.
  • After jars have cooled, 12 to 24 hours, press center of each lid to check that it's concave, then remove screw band and try to lift lid with your fingertips. If you can't, the lid has a good seal. Replace screw band. Put any jars that haven't sealed properly in the refrigerator and use them first (along with jar that was only partially full).

DEEP-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY RED PEPPER JELLY



Deep-Fried Pork Chops with Sweet and Spicy Red Pepper Jelly image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup diced bell pepper (red or yellow), frozen
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup pepper vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
6 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped with seeds
2 tablespoons pectin
4 thick-cut rib pork chops
1 tablespoon blackening seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups buttermilk
Canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the pepper jelly: Combine the sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, roasted bell peppers and jalapeno. Blend using a food processor or immersion blender. Place the puree in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Add the pectin and continue to boil for 60 seconds, at which point add the frozen peppers to stop the cooking process. Pour the jelly into a metal container and chill in an ice bath for about 1 hour until it sets, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • For the pork chops: Using the toothy side of a meat tenderizer, pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. Add the blackening seasoning, salt and pepper to the flour and mix thoroughly. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour, dip in the buttermilk and then back into the flour (using one hand to work in the flour, and the other for dipping in the buttermilk). Allow to rest for at least a minute or so to allow the breader to set up.
  • Pour the oil into a deep, heavy pot (cast iron is best), enough so that the pork chop has room to float, but there needs to be a few inches of clearance so that it doesn't overflow when you are frying. Heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Use a deep-fry thermometer to get the temperature right; too high and your food will burn on the outside before it is cooked on the inside, and too low your food will come out greasy and soggy.
  • Gently the drop pork chops, 1 or 2 at a time, into the oil; don't crowd the pot. Fry until golden brown on the outside, about 7 minutes. Serve with the pepper jelly.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh peppers: The quality of your peppers will greatly impact the taste of your jelly. Look for peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of peppers: To create a complex flavor profile, consider using a mix of different types of peppers, such as red bell peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros.
  • Wear gloves when handling peppers: Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their heat, can irritate your skin. To protect yourself, wear gloves when chopping and seeding the peppers.
  • Use a candy thermometer: To ensure that your jelly reaches the proper consistency, use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture.
  • Process your jelly properly: Once your jelly is ready, process it according to the instructions in your recipe. This will help to prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of your jelly.
