Jalapeno Pepper Jelly
My family relishes this jelly served with meat or spread on crackers with cream cheese. It's in hot demand as a gift.
44 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Process: 10 min.
Ingredients
5 cups sugar
2 medium tart apples, peeled and coarsely chopped
1-1/2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
8 to 10 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup water
6 to 8 drops green food coloring
2 pouches (3 ounces
each
) liquid fruit pectin
Cream cheese and assorted crackers
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, apples, vinegar, green
pepper, jalapenos and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer,
uncovered, for 10 minutes. Strain mixture and return to pan. Stir in
food coloring. Return to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in
pectin; boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Pour hot liquid into hot
half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Adjust caps. Process for
10 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Serve with cream cheese on
crackers. Yield: About 5 half-pints.
Editor's Note:
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face. The processing time listed is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. Add 1 minute to the processing time for each 1,000 feet of additional altitude.
