If spice is nice, this will more than suffice. Our flavorful jelly will get you on your way in the morning with a breakfast kick that will fill you with vim and vigor. Our hot pepper jelly dispels the myth that jelly must only be sweet. Actually, ours is sweet — but it’s also very spicy and gelled with pectin.

Directions

STEP 1: Wearing gloves, wash jalapeños and trim stems off. Remove seeds if you want it milder. Give them a rough chop. Then, pulse in food processor until finely minced. Be careful: fumes will be strong. Wash your hands.
STEP 2: Put peppers in a heavy-bottom pot. Do the same thing with the colorful peppers. Add them to the jalapeño peppers. Add vinegar and sugar to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring pot up to a good boil. Then, add pectin. Boil, stirring for 1 minute.
STEP 3: Ladle hot liquid into jars. Set aside to cool before capping and refrigerating. When jelly is cool, cap and refrigerate. It will thicken as it cools.
STEP 4: I put mine in the canner for 15 minutes. That way it will last longer. I also doubled this recipe as the whole family goes crazy for it when I make it, and I can’t keep enough of it.
