Christmas Hot Pepper Jelly 🌶️🎄

Ingredients:

2 cups finely chopped red bell peppers 🌶️
1 cup finely chopped green bell peppers 🫑
1 cup finely chopped jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat) 🌶️
2 cups apple cider vinegar 🍎
1 (1.75 oz) package powdered fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell) 📦
5 cups granulated sugar 🍬
1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat) 🌶️
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat) 🌶️
Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare Jars:

Sterilize your canning jars and lids by placing them in a boiling pot of water for 10 minutes or running them through a dishwasher cycle. Set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Pepper Mixture:

In a large saucepan, combine the red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeños. Add the apple cider vinegar and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3️⃣ Add Pectin and Sugar:

Stir in the powdered fruit pectin until it’s dissolved completely.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly and return to a boil, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the jelly starts to thicken. Skim off any foam that forms on top.
4️⃣ Check the Jelly’s Consistency:

To check the jelly's consistency, place a small spoonful on a cold plate and let it cool for a minute. Run your finger through it—if it wrinkles and holds its shape, it’s ready. If not, continue boiling for an additional 2 minutes and test again.
5️⃣ Add Seasonings:

Stir in the salt, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust the heat level by adding more cayenne or red pepper flakes, if desired.
6️⃣ Can the Jelly:

Carefully pour the hot jelly mixture into the prepared sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean towel to remove any residue, then seal with the lids.
7️⃣ Process the Jars:

Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You'll hear a "pop" as the lids seal.
8️⃣ Store and Enjoy:

Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place. The jelly will keep for up to a year. Once opened, refrigerate and use within a few weeks.
