Red Pepper Jelly

This Red pepper jelly is made from peppers harvested from the garden. My niece’s garden, but none the less, it is a beautiful and simple recipe. Pretty enough to give as a gift; however, there are many uses for this jelly that has just the right amount of kick.

Instructions

  • Sterilize six 8-ounce canning jars. They can be sterilized by boiling in water. However, it is extremely easy to run them through the dishwasher on the hot setting. When the cycle is complete, just remove them. Make sure to sterilize the jar lids and rings as well. Generally, I do boil them in a small pan just before using. I find that the hot water softens the rubber seal, and it tends to seal better.
  • Remove the seeds prior to dicing the peppers.
    Dice the peppers to a fine mince. If you have a food processor, this is a great task for that kitchen gadget.

  • Place the finely diced peppers into a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and Sure-Jell pectin. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Add the granulated sugar and return to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil another 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Once cooked, let the jelly sit and cool for a few minutes skim off any foam film that may form on top before pouring into the jars to seal them.
  • Fill the sterilized jars to 1/4 inch from the top.
    Place the flat seals on the jars. Add the bands tightening the bands to just fingertip tight. Process for 10 minutes in boiling water.

  • Carefully remove the jars. I like to place on a hand towel to let cool overnight. Once completely cool, check to make sure that the jars are sealed.
