SWEET HEAT PEPPER JELLY



Sweet Heat Pepper Jelly image

I had always wanted to make a pepper jelly with my homegrown beauties, especially since the Tabasco and Scotch Bonnets have a decent, fruity flavour to them in addition to searing heat. A simmer in apple juice draws out the acidic, slightly bitter notes and makes them disappear, and by using Pomona's Pectin I was able to use just enough sugar to call the works a "jelly" while preventing the batch turning into hellfire candy.
