Pepper Jam
Ingredients:
- 4 cups red bell peppers, finely chopped
- 1 cup jalapeo peppers, finely chopped
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 7 cups granulated sugar
- 1 pouch 3 oz liquid fruit pectin
Instructions:
Prepare canning jars and lids by sterilizing them in boiling water
In a large saucepan, combine the red bell peppers, jalapeo peppers, and apple cider vinegar
Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender
Gradually add the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it dissolves
Stir in the liquid fruit pectin and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil
Boil for 1-2 minutes, or until the jam thickens, stirring constantly
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface
Ladle the hot pepper jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace
Wipe the jar rims clean, place the lids on top, and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them properly
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool on a clean towel or cooling rack
Once cool, check the seals by pressing on the center of each lid; it should not pop back
Label and store the pepper jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year
