Time 1h5m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 large green bell pepper
12 jalapeno peppers
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
1 pinch salt
4 ¼ cups granulated sugar
4 ounces liquid pectin
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped

Steps:

Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

SWEET HOT JALAPENO JELLY

Sweet Hot Jalapeno Jelly image

This stuff is divine. I've been making it for years as a dip for taquitos, flautas, and burritos. I also discovered that if I mix it with sour cream and hot sauce it becomes dipping sauce of the gods. This recipe uses red wine vinegar and lime juice, something I didn't find anywhere here. I pour this into plastic containers with lids and store it in the fridge. It does keep longer than 5 days.

Tips:

Select the right peppers: Choose firm, ripe, and unblemished jalapeños. For a milder jelly, use less spicy varieties or remove the seeds and ribs before cooking.

Prepare the peppers properly: Wash and dry the jalapeños thoroughly to prevent contamination. If desired, wear gloves when handling the peppers to avoid burning your skin.

Use a candy thermometer: This is essential for ensuring that the jelly reaches the correct consistency. The ideal temperature for setting jelly is between 220°F (104°C) and 225°F (107°C).

Allow the jelly to cool and set completely: Before transferring the jelly to jars, let it cool for at least 5 minutes in the saucepan. Then, pour it into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them.

Experiment with different flavors: Add a variety of herbs, spices, or fruits to the jelly to create unique flavor combinations. Some popular additions include garlic, ginger, cilantro, lime juice, and mango.

Conclusion:

Sweet and hot jalapeño jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. Use it as a spread on crackers or bread, as a dipping sauce for chicken or shrimp, or as a glaze for grilled meats. It also makes a great gift for friends and family. With its perfect balance of sweet and spicy, this jelly is sure to be a hit at any gathering. So, put on your apron and give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
