Best Raspberry Hot Pepper Jelly Recipes

RASPBERRY JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• Prepare jars, lids, and canner.
• Wash raspberries making sure to remove stems and leaves. Prepare jalapeno peppers by washing and removing the seeds. Chop peppers into desired bites, I prefer very small pieces which have been finely chopped.
• In a heavy bottom saucepan (enamel Dutch oven) add raspberries, jalapeno peppers, and sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a full boil (roughly 5-10 mins), stirring continually to prevent the berries from scorching.
• Skim any excessive foam that forms. Don't kill yourself over this step! Simply remove as much of the foam as possible.
• Once the sugar has fully dissolved, allow the jam to cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Ladle jam into clean, warm 1/2 pint mason jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
• Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth. Add warm rings and lids to jar - finger tight.
• Process the jars in a steam canner or boiling water bath canner. The processing time is based on the altitude in which you reside, see chart in the article.
