• Ladle jelly evenly into sterile jars, filling to ¼ inch from top of jar. Cover with flat lids and screw on screw bands tight.
• Place jars into canner with hot water that is not boiling. Water should completely cover jar. Cook on high heat to reach a boil. Process for 5 minutes,

5 PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• 1. In two small bowls, put minced jalapenos in one and minced cayenne in the other. Add just enough vinegar to cover peppers and put in refrigerator overnight for the best flavor.
• 2. In a large, stainless steel saucepan, combine chopped and sliced peppers, pepper flakes, cider vinegar, and sugar. Cook over medium low heat until peppers are very soft and vinegar mixture is fully incorporated with pepper flavor, about 1 hour.
• 3. Strain vinegar mixture through a fine mesh sieve and discard pulp and seeds.
• 4. Return strained vinegar to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in liquid pectin; continue stirring constantly and bring back to boil for 1 minute - no longer! Remove from heat and skim off foam.
• 5. Divide jelly mixture and add red food color to one mixture and add the minced green jalapeno peppers. To the other half of the mixture add the green food color and the minced red cayenne peppers. If you like the golden color of natural pepper jelly then combine the minced red & green peppers into the jelly mixture.
• 6. Using a canning funnel, ladle jelly into sterilized jars. Seal, and process in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes. While jelly is cooling occasionally turn jelly upside down or gently shake jars to keep the minced peppers evenly distributed in the jelly until it's set.
• 7. TIP: Sterilize your clean jars and lids in the oven. Place on a baking sheet at 250* F for 20 minutes, then turn oven down to 225* until all jars are used.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILE PEPPER JELLY RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Pulse bell peppers and chiles in a food processor until very finely chopped (be careful not to purée). Transfer to a large saucepan and add sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is reduced by two-thirds, about 1 hour. Transfer jelly to heatproof jars; cover and chill until set, about 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Jelly can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.

APPLE-CHIPOTLE JELLY

Steps:

• If using dried chipotles, soak them in 1/2 cup warm apple juice for 30 minutes, then remove the stems and mince the chilies. If using canned chipotles, mince them. For a milder jelly, you can remove the seeds.
• Combine the sugar, remaining apple juice, vinegar, and chipotles in a large heavy saucepan and stir to mix. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
• Stir in the dry pectin and boil hard for 2 minutes. Skim well. Pour the mixture into sterile jelly jars (three 1-pint jars or six 1-cup jars) and cover tightly. Invert the jars for 10 minutes, then reinvert. Shake the jars from time to time as the jelly cools, to evenly distribute the pepper pieces.
• The jelly will keep for several months in a cool, dark place, unopened. Refrigerate it, once it is opened.

CHIPOTLE MANGO JELLY

Steps:

• 1. Sterilize and prepare pint canning jars and lids as directed.
• 2. Put 3 cups fresh mangos and the drained chipotle peppers in food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
• 3. In a heavy 6 quart pan, add 6 cups sugar and 2 cups apple cider vinegar. Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
• 4. Once sugar is dissolved add mango pepper mixture. Bring to a rolling boil that you can not stir down for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool for ten minutes.
• 5. Add 6 oz or two pouches of the liquid pectin. Bring back up to a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
• 6. Ladle into jars. I use the hot water bath process. Some people just put the lids turn the jars upside down and the lids seal either way.
• 7. Enjoy as a snack with bagels and cream cheese. I use the jelly to make crostini appetizers and I use it for cooking.
