ZESTY JALAPENO LEMON JELLY



Zesty Jalapeno Lemon Jelly image

Number Of Ingredients 8

Makes 6- 1/2 pints of 3 pints
1 3/4 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (use zested lemons)
7 jalapeno peppers, fresh - with seeds. If you like it less spicy, de-seed
Lemon zest from 4 grated lemons
6 cups white sugar
5 ounces of pectin (powdered - do NOT use liquid for this recipe)
16 oz. SKS Clear Glass Mason Jars

Steps:

  • Zest lemons with a zester. Make sure to only get the yellow portion of the lemon and not the white part underneath, as that is often bitter.
  • Combine vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest and jalapeno peppers in a food processor. Pulse to desired fineness. Stir in pectin powder. Heat the jalapeno slurry and when hot combine with sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Boil hard for 5 minutes and stir often. Remove from heat. If there is any foam, use a slotted spoon to scoop it out.
  • Carefully pour into sterilized jars and fasten lids. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Remove with canning tongs and let jars cool for 24 hours.
  • As the jelly sets, I will sometimes invert the jar after about an hour of cooling so all of the seeds and zest don't settle at the bottom.

A jar of this sweet and spicy jelly is always warmly appreciated. To add an extra southwestern accent, I trim the lid with a snappy bandanna print fabric. -Lori McMullen, Victoria, Texas

JALAPENO JELLY

From the Ball Blue Book of Preserving. A little different than other recipes as it uses only jalapeno peppers. Be sure to wear disposable or rubber gloves while cutting and seeding jalapenos. I did not add the optional food coloring and got 6 half-pints. Great over cream cheese or for use in recipes. Please be sure you are familiar with hot water bath canning procedures. For more information, check out the Canning Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=24. Whenever making large quantities of jams or jellies, be sure not to double the recipe. Just make successive batches in assembly-line fashion; otherwise, they won't set. The amount of vinegar is correct:)
