Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 2 cups pineapple, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow), finely chopped
  • 1 cup hot peppers (jalapeno), about 5 peppers, finely chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 package powdered pectin (typically 1.75 oz)
  • 5 cups white granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut up the pineapple into manageable chunks. Finely chop the pineapple pieces, bell pepper, and hot peppers using a food processor or knife until evenly minced.
  2. Combine in Pot: Add the chopped pineapple and peppers to a large pot. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and sprinkle in the powdered pectin. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Heat to Boil: Place the pot on high heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning and ensure the pectin activates properly.
  4. Add Sugar and Boil: Once boiling, add the 5 cups of sugar and stir well. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and maintain the boil for exactly 1 minute to achieve the correct jelly consistency.
  5. Remove Foam and Jar: Take the pot off heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface. Using a ladle and a canning funnel, fill sterilized jelly jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
  6. Seal Jars: Wipe rims of jars to remove residue, remove air bubbles with a non-metallic spatula, and seal jars with prepared lids and rings.
  7. Process in Boiling Water Bath: Place sealed jars in a boiling water bath, ensuring water covers the jars by at least 1 inch. Process for 10 minutes at a full rolling boil to properly preserve the jelly.
  8. Cool and Store: Use a jar lifter to remove jars carefully from the water bath and place them on a kitchen towel. Let jars sit undisturbed for 24 hours to cool and seal completely. Check seals before storage.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe pineapples for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of hot peppers to control the spice level.
  • Be sure to follow canning safety procedures to avoid spoilage.
  • Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening.
  • If you prefer a smoother jelly, you can strain the cooked mixture through a fine mesh before jarring.
