Quick Easy Hot Pepper Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize 6 (8 ounce) canning jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat water in a hot water canner.
• Place red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers in a large saucepan over high heat. Mix in vinegar and fruit pectin. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam.
• Quickly ladle jelly into sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Cover with flat lids, and screw on bands tightly.
• Place jars in rack, and slowly lower jars into canner. The water should cover the jars completely, and should be hot but not boiling. Bring water to a boil, and process for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Run the red and green peppers through a coarse grinder, or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a strainer, and drain really well. This is key to your success.
• While the peppers are draining, sterilize your jars by boiling or using the dishwasher. Keep hot.
• In a large pot, combine the peppers, vinegar, white sugar, red pepper flakes and pectin. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat while stirring constantly. A rolling boil is one that does not stop when stirred. Boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat, and ladle into hot sterile jars to within 1/2 inch of the top. Seal with new lids and rings. Place into a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. The jars should be completely covered by water. Remove and let cool. The jelly will be somewhat loose. The last jar may not be full. Just refrigerate, and use within a week or two.

Steps:

• Wash the jars, lids and bands in hot, soapy water; rinse well. Put the jars in a large pot and cover with water. Boil 10 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer until ready to use. Meanwhile, put the lids and bands in a separate saucepan of simmering water until ready to use (do not boil). Just before filling, carefully remove the jars from the water with a jar lifter or tongs, shake out the excess water and transfer to a clean kitchen towel.
• Remove the ribs and seeds of the bell peppers and jalapenos. Roughly chop and pulse briefly in a food processor until finely minced. You can also finely mince by hand. Add the peppers to a medium-to-large, heavy bottomed pot set to medium-high heat.
• Add the vinegar and sugar to the pot; stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add powdered pectin. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
• Ladle the mixture into sterilized jars. Set aside to cool before capping and refrigerating. Once cool, cap and refrigerate jars. The jelly will thicken as it cools. Will keep up to 2 months refrigerated.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large, stainless steel saucepan, combine green pepper, white vinegar, and white sugar. Bring to a boil, and cook for 6 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in liquid pectin, and continue to boil for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Skim off foam with a metal spoon, and remove pan from heat
• Ladle jelly into sterilized jars, leaving a 1/2 inch space at the top. Seal, and process in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Spoon out apple jelly into a saucepan.
• Add chopped jalapenos.
• Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes.
• (This could also be done in a microwave).
• You can add a drop or two of food coloring if you want.
• Pour mixture into sterilized jar and lid; turn upside down for 5 minutes, then upright and it will seal.
• Or you can do it the lazy the way like I did- I poured it back into the jar I bought the apple jelly in (didn't even rinse the jar out), tightened the lid on and turn upside down and it sealed itself again.
• (I should put a disclaimer that I am not sure if you should do it the lazy way or not-but I keep the jar in the frig-no worries!).

Steps:

• Chop peppers and put in blender with vinegar.
• Blend well and pour into large boiler.
• Add sugar and mix well.
• Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, strain through sieve and return liquid back to a boil.
• Boil for 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Add Certo and food coloring quickly.
• Put into 6 (1/2 pint) jars and seal.
• I use heated seal method, where I heat the lids in boiling water, place on jar, secure ring tightly and turn jar upside down for 5 minutes.
• Turn jar up correctly and allow to cool completely before storing.
• Newer studies show that it is safer to seal with the hot water bath method. To do this, put into a large boiler with rack on bottom, cover with 1-2 inches of water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove to rack to cool.
