Nashville Hot Pepper Jelly

Ingredients

  • 3 cups, finely chopped bell peppers (roughly 4 peppers) seeds removed, any colors you like

  • 4 cups sugar

  • 1.5 oz of pectin

  • 3 Tbsp Spiceology Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning (more if you’d like it hotter)

  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • Optional, 2-3 Jalapenos or other hot peppers, finely diced

  • Canning Jars, lids and seals, this recipe makes about 12-14 4 oz mason jars

Directions

  1. Boil your canning jars in water to sterilize them.

  2. Finely chop all of your peppers, either with a knife or in a food processor.

  3. Add your chopped peppers into a pan over high heat, add in your pectin and apple cider vinegar, and bring to a boil.

  4. Remove from heat and add in your sugar and Spiceology Nashville Hot Chicken seasoning, bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes to dissolve the sugars.

  5. Give a taste to see if the heat and sweetness levels are where you’d like them to be.

  6. Carefully ladle your pepper mix into your sterile jars. - Add your jars back into a hot, but not boiling water bath for 5 minutes to seal your jars.

  7. Let the jars get to room temperature, and check your seals to make sure everything has sealed and will be shelf stable.
