Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeno peppers
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Red bell pepper
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Yellow bell pepper
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Green bell pepper
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 oz (2 packets, typically) Liquid pectin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Wash and finely chop the jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Use gloves while handling the jalapenos to avoid irritation.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Increase the heat again to bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir in the liquid pectin and boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the jam.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars with sterilized lids and rings. If preserving, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator if not processed in a water bath, or in a cool, dark place if properly canned.
Serve the jam as a spread, dip, or glaze. Enjoy the zesty, sweet-and-spicy flavor of your homemade Calico Jalapeno Jam!
