Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 whole (medium-sized) jalapeno peppers
- 1 whole (large-sized) green bell pepper
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (or one pouch) liquid pectin
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the jalapeno peppers and green bell pepper. Remove stems and seeds from each pepper. If you prefer a spicier glaze, retain some of the jalapeno seeds.
2. Roughly chop the peppers and add them to a food processor. Blend until finely minced but not pureed.
3. In a large saucepan, combine the minced peppers, apple cider vinegar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the sugar until completely dissolved.
5. Add the butter to the mixture. This helps reduce foaming during cooking.
6. Allow the mixture to boil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. Stir in the liquid pectin and boil for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
8. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the glaze cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Skim off any foam from the top, if present.
9. Pour the glaze into sterilized jars or heatproof containers. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing or transferring to the refrigerator.
10. Use the jalapeno jelly glaze as a marinade or glaze for meats, a dip with cream cheese, or a topping for roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
