Spicy Red Pepper Jelly
Pinterest Hidden Image

I like to shop at the big box store where you can buy items in large quantities. There’s a food item that we regularly buy and they are pointed red peppers. I use them a lot in my recipes because I love their sweet taste. Of course they come in a large plastic bag and I have to use them up fairly quickly so I don’t waste any…
 
If you grew peppers this summer and still have plenty left, you’ll have the same problem… You’ll have to use them up pretty fast before they get spoiled. I have the perfect solution… Here’s a delicious recipe for you… my Spicy Red Pepper Jelly!
 
This condiment is very popular as a topping for baked brie. The soft warm cheese along with the jelly is a match made in heaven.
 
Besides this combination, this jelly can also be used in other recipes like my Pork Tenderloin Vitali, Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, Ethiopian Red Pepper Sauce and in many of my other recipes… so stay tuned! This Spicy Red Pepper Jelly is also great as a spread!
 
It’s a nice versatile condiment to have on hand. I usually use red peppers and sometimes I’ll add some orange or yellow peppers but never green peppers which I find taste “soapy” and aren’t ripe anyway.
 
Next time you buy way too many peppers or you grew too many and still have plenty sitting on your kitchen counter, you’ll know exactly what to do. This easy Spicy Red Pepper Jelly recipe is definitely the answer. Now if some of you are not too familiar with the canning process, here’s a great video for you… How to Do Home Canning

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Passive Time 1 day
Total Time 1 day 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 3 tbsp. pectin
  • 6 cups red peppers, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter tips & tricks
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh tarragon, chopped tips & tricks
  • 1/8 tsp. Himalayan sea salt, or to taste

Directions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk ¾ cup sugar with pectin; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine red peppers and red pepper flakes; process for 15 seconds or until somewhat finely chopped. You should have about 2 ½ cups give or take.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add red peppers, remaining 2 ½ cups sugar, white vinegar, butter, fresh tarragon and sea salt. Stir very well and bring to a boil; cook for 4 minutes.
  • Add sugar-pectin mixture and cook for an additional 4 minutes. If there are some larger chunks of pepper, purée with an immersion blender.
  • To find out if it’s ready, dip a metal spoon in ice cold water. Dry it off and scoop up some jelly. Let it cool off to room temperature. If it sets up, it means it’s ready otherwise cook it a little longer.
  • Remove from the heat and fill up the prepared jars. Process the jars in the boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Place them in a draft-free area and wait until the lids snap down.
