Description

This vibrant hot pepper jelly offers a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors, making it an irresistible addition to any charcuterie board. Made with fresh bell peppers for sweetness and jalapenos for a gentle kick, this condiment is brightened with a touch of green food coloring and a sharp tang from cider vinegar. The texture is smooth and glossy, thanks to the pectin, which sets the jelly beautifully. It is incredibly versatile; spread it on cream cheese for a party appetizer, use it as a glaze for grilled meats, or simply enjoy it with crackers. This recipe is straightforward to make, requiring just a blender and a heavy-bottomed pot. It makes a wonderful homemade gift or a delightful treat for your own table, adding a gourmet touch to simple ingredients.

Directions

  1. Place the chopped bell peppers and jalapenos into a blender container.

  5. Rinse the blender container with the remaining 1/2 cup of vinegar and add to the saucepan.
  6. Stir in the sugar.
  7. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Boil vigorously for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  9. Remove the pan from heat and let stand for 5 minutes to reduce foaming.

  13. Seal the jars tightly or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
