Homemade Jalapeno Jelly

[barkonbutts]

Well with the huge amount of jalapenos that we have this year and being that I do not have any more jalapeno jelly, had some time today to make a few jars.

supplies needed

20 jalapenos
6 cups sugar
2 cups cider vinegar
pectin
5 drops green food coloring

Pureed the jalapenos with one cup of vinegar, added 2nd cup in put wtih sugar brought to a boil add pectin and boil for 10 minutes and into jars and then 30 minutes in the bath..

Here is what you have after.

Looks great and thanks for the recipe... gotta get my wife back on here jelly making kick for some of this; I am thinking it would make a great glaze for ribs!

Nicely done. I made some last year & only have 1 jar left. Nice glaze on pork

[Bassman]

Looks good. I'll bet that's going to be tasty.

Oh now that would be awesome laid over a brick of cream cheese and then spread onto crackers.

Nice looking J-Jelly, Bob!

I've made a lot of jelly, but no jap jelly. Why the 30 minute water bath? Usually it's a rolling boil, pectin, then into a sanitized jar.

Never made any of that but always sounded interesting, thought I had a box of pectin sitting around but guess not so I'll have to pick some up and give this a try!

The best ribs I ever ate were Mesquite smoked and glazed with Jalapeno Jelly!

That sounds pretty interesting.
I'll pass on the mesquite and opt for some hickory or cherry (think cherry might go well with the sweet spicy jelly or even orange?) but great idea with the jelly for a glaze!

It was a sweet Jalapeno jelly. Like the recipe above. But it had some fresh garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes in it also.

Had some green pepper jelly myself last night! Yours looks great! Thanks for posting the recipe!
