Pepper Jelly

Does anyone have a good recipe to share?

I thought last week, while at the market, about making up a batch of pepper relish. When I came home I wasn't able to find my "tried and true"receipe, but did locate the one below published in a Women's Institute cookbook from northern Ontario. Now those gals can cook so I think you can trust this one if you like it hot!!

Three Pepper Jelly

3 red peppers
3 green peppers
10 jalapeno peppers
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 box of fruit pectin (certo)
2 cups white sugar (divided)

In a large saucepan, combine chopped peppers and vinegar. In another small bowl, mix pectin crystals with 1/4 cup of sugar. Slowly stir this mixture into the peppers. Cook and stir over high heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Stir in remaining sugar, cook and stir until mixture returns to a boil. Continue to stir and boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam; stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Pour into sterilized jars and seal while still hot. Makes about 5 cups.

A reminder to wear gloves when dealing with jalapeno peppers!!!!

Thanks Windy for the recipe and for the "hot" tip.

Would it be possible to freeze this jelly rather than putting it in jars. ?

Regarding your question Rick, whether or not you could freeze this pepper jelly. I don't know!! Comparing it to fruit jams, if you boil the fruit mixture then you must put it into jars. The freezer jam receipe doesn't require boiling the fruit, just the pectin and water. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I offer my services for taste tests and quality control....one frozen, one not. Yum...I can almos taste it now!
This is not a recipe per say, but I love this pepper jelly on thin bread, brie cheese, thinly sliced green apple and then put in a panini press. I could eat two or three of them in one sitting!

I have used the pepper jelly that had been given to us (sans recipe) on salmon and tilapia before barbequing and the flavour is fantastic! that's why I wanted a recipe! I also enjoy on crackers with cream cheese
