Hot Pepper Jelly

topic posted Fri, June 24, 2005 - 10:11 PM by  tallgrass
Hello,

I'm new to this list. I am looking for a good recipe for hot pepper jelly. My friend who used to trade preserves with me seems to have been abducted by aliens. I have been limping along with supermarket brands, but his was especially tasty, making everything on a savory sandwich taste better.

Thanks,

tallgrass

    From homecanning.com:

    Ingredients
    3/4 pound jalapeño peppers
    2 cups cider vinegar, 5% acidity, divided
    6 cups sugar
    2 pouches Ball® Fruit Jell® Liquid Pectin
    Green food coloring (optional)

    Instructions
    Prepare Ball® and Kerr® jars and closures according to instructions found in Canning Basics.

    Wash peppers; drain. Remove stems and seeds. Purée peppers and 1 cup vinegar in a food processor or blender. Combine purée, 1 cup vinegar and sugar in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil; boil 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in liquid pectin. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, if desired. Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rim and threads of jars with a clean damp cloth. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met-fingertip tight.

    Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
    Yield: about 5 half-pints.

    Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, wear rubber gloves to prevent hands from being burned.

    Change the type of peppers to get the right spicy-ness for you.

    I'm sorry this isn't a recipe for hot pepper jelly but rather a recipe that uses hot pepper jelly. I have put it on top of a brie and heated it in the oven until the brie is slightly melted and served with a variety of crackers. Also if you pour it over softened cream cheese and serve with crackers. Of course you need a glass of white wine with it........enjoy

    Here is the pepper jelly recipe that I use, and it is the easiest I've made so far....

    3 1/2 cups Finely chopped pepper (Green, red, yellow, jalapeno, or a combo, it doesn't matter)
    1 1/2 cups white vinegar 6 1/2 cups white sugar
    3oz liquid pectin (85ml)

    *In large pot, combine pepper, vinegar, and sugar. Boil, and cook 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Sitr in pectin, boil 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skim off foam, ladle into hot sterilized jars. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

    Hope this helps. Cheers!!
