Ingredients

  • 1 cup minced bell peppers (1-2 whole peppers, seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups white granulated sugar
  • 2 ounces (3 ounces each) liquid pectin such as Certo

Instructions

  • Place peppers, hot sauce and cider vinegar in a blender or food processor. Blend until peppers are liquified.
  • Pour pepper mixture into a medium saucepan. Whisk in the sugar. Heat the mixture over medium high heat until it reaches a hard-rolling boil, meaning it does not stop boiling after it is stirred. Keep boiling for one minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to set for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam.
  • Stir in the liquid pectin. Bring the mixture back to a boil for one minute.
  • Pour the jelly into clean, sterilized jars. Jelly will continue to thicken for 24 hours.
