Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

August 22, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I know it’s been awhile since I posted.  I have had some major Internet issues and it seems I have the Internet for an hour or so a day.  There seems to be an issue with Comcast and they can’t figure it out.  However, this past Sunday I have the Internet, so I am rushing to get a post to you. 

I have been pretty busy this summer, and trying out some new recipes.  For the first time ever I made jelly.  I am so very proud of myself.  I have never made jelly and have only canned a couple of times in my life.  As you may know I have peppers coming out the butt from the garden.  I have pounds and pounds of peppers, and I truly had no clue what to do with them all.  I have been adding peppers to almost every meal.  I thought a great idea would be to try my hand at pepper jelly.  It uses a lot of peppers, plus it is preserving the peppers so I have a year or more of delicious peppers from my garden.  Today for you I have a very simple recipe for Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.

Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

The Jelly is sweet and spicy, but not overly hot.  I used Red Serrano Peppers and a few Jalapenos.  It is thick, colorful and full of flavor.  For the peppers I used about a pound of peppers.  I seeded them and removed the stem.  Be sure to wear gloves when you cut them.  Then wash your hands with soap and warm water.


Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

I served my pepper jelly with cream cheese and crackers.  It makes for a great appetizer.  You can also add pepper jelly to chicken, and pork or mix it in a stir fry, the possibilities are endless.  I am just so proud of this recipe.  I can’t wait to try my hand with other jellies.

Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

To make the peppers, I put the peppers with 1 cup of distilled vinegar in a blender.  Process until lightly chunky.  Add to a large stainless steel pot and add 1 more cup of vinegar and sugar.  Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.  Add two packets of pectin.  Cook for 1 minute more.  Fill six 8 oz. sterilized mason jars and place in a boiling bath for 10 minutes.  Take out of canner and let it sit on the counter for 12 – 24 hours.  How easy is that?  I’ll give more detail of directions in the recipe.

A sweet and spicy jelly made with freshly picked Serrano and Jalapenos. This is a simple canning recipe that will preserve your peppers for over a year. Goes great with cream cheese and crackers.
Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Canning
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 8 oz. containers
Ingredients
  • 1-pound serrano and jalapeno peppers (seeded and stemmed)
  • 2 cups distilled vinegar or apple vinegar, divided
  • 5 ½ cups sugar, divided
  • 2- 1.75 oz. packets Less sugar or No Sugar Fruit Pectin (I used Sure Jell, in the pink box)
  • 6- 8 oz. mason jars
Instructions
  1. Sterilize Mason jars in the dishwasher under sterile mode or add to boiling water for 10 minutes.
  2. Add water to a canner and bring to a simmer. This takes time, start this process early.
  3. Place lids in a small pot of almost boiling water for 5 minutes. Just leave the lids in the water until ready to use.
  4. In a bowl, add ½ cup sugar and the pectin. Mix together; set aside.
  5. Add a few ice cubes and water in a cup or bowl and add a metal spoon; set aside.
  6. Add peppers and 1 cup of vinegar to a blender and process until chunky, but slightly pureed. Add pepper mixture to a large stainless steel pot, add 5 cups of sugar and remaining 1 cup of vinegar. Set to a medium heat; bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Note: When I start this process turn the heat up to the canner filled with water and bring to a boil.
  7. Add pectin and sugar mixture to the pot and stir constantly for 10 minutes.
  8. Take your spoon that has been sitting in ice water and add a little bit of jelly. Let it cool and this will show you the texture of the jelly. Give it a taste too.
  9. Add jelly to sterilized jars to ¼” to the top. Wipe off any jelly on the rim. Put the lids on the jars and tighten ring around them. Place in the canner of boiling water, make sure there is at least 2” of water covering the jars. Boil for 10 minutes.
  10. Carefully take the jars out of the canner and place on a towel and let it cool on the counter for 12 – 24 hours. Store in a cool dark place. This jelly will last 12 – 18 months.
Notes
You can buy pectin and mason jars at the grocery store and Target also carries mason jars, canner and tools to fill and jar lifter tongs.

Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

If I can make jelly anyone can.  I love that I actually canned it.  It’s really easy.  The key is to time everything right.  It would make for a great Christmas present too.  Not that I am thinking of Christmas already.  So head to the Farmers Market or grocery store and pick up some peppers if you do not grow them in your garden.  Peppers are plentiful and cheap this time of year.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I always think sweet when it comes to jelly. The peppers seem like an interesting addition. I just can’t imagine what this will taste like. Thanks for the recipe. I’ll give it a try.

    What a hot recipe!! I’ve tried pepper jelly in the past and loved it, but hadn’t thought of how easy it is to do myself. Thanks!

      Hi Mary, It’s so easy, if I can do it anyone can. It tastes amazing. I have gone through 3 jars already. You should give it a try.

    This is interesting! Always thought jelly was a derivative of sweet, not a fibrous veggie like peppers

    Do you have a preference for distilled vinegar vs apple cider vinegar as far as the flavor?

      October 8, 2016 at 12:58 PM

      Hi Joli, No, I don’t have much of a taste preference. I have not used Apple Cider Vinegar in jelly, but it’s suppose to be healthier for you, as far as taste in jelly I am unsure.

      Thanks Amy. It was a sure hit this year. I couldn’t make enough of it. It tastes so good with cream cheese on a cracker. If you make it, enjoy!

    Jennifer,

    I cooked your “Serrano & Jalapeno Pepper Jelly” last night (7 July 17), it came out a little stiff.

    Afterwards, I looked in my Ball Home Preserving book, their version of Jalapeno Jelly is almost the same; “except for” after adding the pectin they only have you boil it for 1 minute & then place it in the jars.

    Even though, it tastes great!

    I love pepper jelly but I’m new to canning and have never made my own jelly before. The recipe sounds like it requires a specialized canner (it’s pressurized, right?). If I just use a pot of boiling water do I still leave the closed jars in for 10 minutes or would they need longer?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      August 10, 2020 at 10:15 AM

      Hi Kim. I used a canner, a big pot. Bring your water to a boil. Drop the closed jars, don’t screw the lid to tight. Bring to a boil, then boil for 10 minutes. Hope this helps.

    Hi Jennifer,

    I’m new to canning and have been unable to find low sugar pectin anywhere! Can regular pectin be used instead with a reduction in the sugar used in the recipe itself? If so, how much sugar do I decrease it by? I made a batch last year but made freezer jam instead which set just fine. I’ve made 1 batch this year for canning and it didn’t set but I had to use regular pectin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Can this recipe be doubled or does that affect the jelly being set?

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share.

I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
