Lemon Jalapeno Jelly image

We love jalapeno jelly and I am always trying new versions. So, I came up with lemon jalapeno. Its lemony, sweet , tart and hot! We like it on bagels with cream cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cup(s) cider vinegar
1/2 cup(s) lemon juice, fresh
3 to 4 - jalapenos, fresh
1 - lemon zest, grated
6 cup(s) sugar
1 package(s) liquid fruit pectin (3 oz)
2 dash(es) yellow food coloring

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest and jalapeno peppers in a blender. Process stop-and-go fashion to desired fineness. Combine with sugar in saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil hard for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and skim to remove foam. Cool 2 minutes, then mix in pectin and food color.
  • Pour into sterilized jars and fasten lids. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes, if desired, or refrigerate (the original recipe did not call for processing). Cool.
  • Invert jars a few times after about 30 minutes of cooling to distribute peppers evenly before jelly completely sets.
