Description
A delicious combination of sweet peaches and spicy peppers, perfect for spreading on toast or as a glaze for meats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1–2 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
- 5 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Sterilize jars, lids, and rings. Keep warm until ready to use.
- In a large pot, combine chopped peaches, red and green bell peppers, jalapeños, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir in powdered pectin and bring mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Add all the sugar at once. Stir continuously and return to a rolling boil. Boil for 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam as needed.
- Ladle hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe rims clean, place lids on, and screw on rings until fingertip-tight.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
- Let jars cool undisturbed for 12–24 hours. Check seals before storing in a cool, dark place.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar depending on the ripeness of the peaches.
- For a spicier jelly, leave some seeds in the jalapeños.
- This jelly pairs well with cream cheese for a quick appetizer.
