Ingredients

  • 24 ounces Fresh jalapenos (about 22 medium-sized peppers)

  • 4 cups Apple cider vinegar

  • 12 cups White sugar

  • 12 oz Liquid Pectin

Directions

  • Remove stems from jalapenos. Then cut jalapeno in half, and remove seeds. Roughly chop jalapenos.
  • Put jalapenos in food processor along with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Process until very smooth.
  • In a pot, combine puree with the sugar and the other 3 cups of apple cider vinegar.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Quickly add all of the liquid pectin. While stirring, bring to a full rolling boil. Continue cooking at a full boil for 1 full minute, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat. If there is foam on top, skim it off.
  • Ladle hot jelly into sanitized 1/2-pint mason jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.
  • De-bubble, wipe rims, place on lids and rings.
  • Process jars for 10 minutes (adjusting for high altitude, if needed).
