Jalapeño habanero pepper jelly 🌶️🫑

* 1 cup finely chopped hanenero peppers. (Leave seeds in pepper)

* 1 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper

* 1/2 chopped / crushed pineapple , drain as much juice as possible

* 1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar

* 1 1/2 box of surejell

* 2 -3 cups organic sugar

* 1 cup honey

* 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions 

* Prepare boiling water canner. Heat half pint jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm water then let soak in water on low heat until ready to place on jars , and set bands aside. 

* Combine bell peppers, habanero peppers , pineapples and vinegar in a large saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin.(surejell)

Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down over high heat, stirring constantly, for at least 5 minutes. 

* Add sugar and honey. Next bring mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Mixture should be bubbling . Remove from the heat. Stir in salt. Skim foam off top if necessary( I’ve never had to do this but still possible )

* Next Ladle hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 to 1/2  headspace. Wipe rim with warm rag and dry rims quickly. Now remove lids from heat let the water roll of lids and place lid on jar. Next Screw band on until fingertip-tight. Place jar in boiling water canner.        

* Process jars for 10 minutes. To process Place jars in large pot full of water (water should cap the jars ). Then bring to boil set a ten minute timer and relax you are almost there ! Remove jars and cool.

* Your seal should make an audible click shortly after removing from boiling water . Sometimes they can take longer and that’s okay ! If all haven’t “clicked “ Check seal after 24 hours. They should all be “down” or “sealed” meaning Lid should not pop up and down when center is pressed. In 24 hours the mixturer should be a jelly and not watery . If it looks like jelly …. YOU DID IT ! Crack one open pour over some cream cheese and enjoy.

*****if it’s watery DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED DO. OT THROW OUT. You just need more surejell . Repeat steps of sterilizing jars and bring mixture to a boil and add more surejell !!!!
