This Girl Is On Fire Hot Pepper Jelly Recipes

HOT PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Sterilize 6 (8 ounce) canning jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat water in a hot water canner.
• Place red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers in a large saucepan over high heat. Mix in vinegar and fruit pectin. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam.
• Quickly ladle jelly into sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Cover with flat lids, and screw on bands tightly.
• Place jars in rack, and slowly lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 5 minutes.

HOT PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Chop peppers and put in blender with vinegar.
• Blend well and pour into large boiler.
• Add sugar and mix well.
• Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, strain through sieve and return liquid back to a boil.
• Boil for 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Add Certo and food coloring quickly.
• Put into 6 (1/2 pint) jars and seal.
• I use heated seal method, where I heat the lids in boiling water, place on jar, secure ring tightly and turn jar upside down for 5 minutes.
• Turn jar up correctly and allow to cool completely before storing.
• Newer studies show that it is safer to seal with the hot water bath method. To do this, put into a large boiler with rack on bottom, cover with 1-2 inches of water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool.

EASIEST HOT PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Spoon out apple jelly into a saucepan.
• Add chopped jalapenos.
• Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes.
• (This could also be done in a microwave).
• You can add a drop or two of food coloring if you want.
• Pour mixture into sterilized jar and lid; turn upside down for 5 minutes, then upright and it will seal.
• Or you can do it the lazy the way like I did- I poured it back into the jar I bought the apple jelly in (didn't even rinse the jar out), tightened the lid on and turn upside down and it sealed itself again.
• (I should put a disclaimer that I am not sure if you should do it the lazy way or not-but I keep the jar in the frig-no worries!).
