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.

    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?

      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

      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 World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
