Ingredients

Gather up the following ingredients:

2 cups finely chopped fresh jalapeños (about 10-12 jalapeños)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
5 cups granulated sugar
1 pouch (3 ounces) liquid pectin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Food coloring (optional, for that vibrant look)

Instructions

Now let’s get cooking!

First things first, you wanna wash and finely chop your jalapeños. If you like it spicy, keep the seeds in; if not, remove them before chopping.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped jalapeños, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once it’s boiling, add the granulated sugar to the pan and stir until it completely dissolves.
After that, let it boil for a full 10 minutes, continuing to stir. This process blends the flavors nicely!
Now, add the liquid pectin and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil for about 1 minute. If you want that vibrant color, add a few drops of food coloring here.
Next, carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving some space at the top. Make sure to wipe the rims clean before sealing them with the lids.
Let the jars sit at room temperature until they cool down completely. Once they’re cooled, you can store them in the fridge for up to a month.

And there you have it! A beautiful batch of homemade jalapeño jelly that’ll be a hit at your next feast. Don’t forget to share with your folks and enjoy the sweet and spicy goodness! Get ready to see how quickly it disappears!
