Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Red bell peppers (seeded and chopped)
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (seeded and chopped)
- 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 3 tablespoons Low-sugar pectin
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash the red bell peppers and jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Remove the seeds and stems, then chop them into small pieces.
Place the chopped bell peppers and jalapeño peppers into a food processor. Pulse until finely minced but not pureed. Alternatively, chop very finely by hand if preferred.
In a large non-reactive saucepan, combine the minced peppers, apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener) with the low-sugar pectin until well combined.
Slowly add the sweetener and pectin mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
Increase the heat and bring the jelly mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring, then remove from heat.
Carefully pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. If necessary, wipe the rims clean before sealing with sterilized lids.
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator. The jelly will thicken as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process in a water bath canner according to safe canning guidelines for long-term preservation.
