Jalapeño Jelly Sweet and Spicy Homemade Jalapeño Jelly Ingredients: 4 cups finely chopped fresh jalapeños (about 12-15 peppers, seeds removed for less heat) 3 cups granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 (1.75 oz) package fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell) 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color) Directions: Prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water. Set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped jalapeños, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir in the fruit pectin and turmeric (if using). Return to a full rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam from the surface. Ladle the hot jelly into prepared sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, seal with lids and rings. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing. Remove jars and let cool completely. Jelly will set as it cools. Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
