Raspberry Jalapeno Jelly Recipes

RASPBERRY JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• Prepare jars, lids, and canner.
• Wash raspberries making sure to remove stems and leaves. Prepare jalapeno peppers by washing and removing the seeds. Chop peppers into desired bites, I prefer very small pieces which have been finely chopped.
• In a heavy bottom saucepan (enamel Dutch oven) add raspberries, jalapeno peppers, and sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a full boil (roughly 5-10 mins), stirring continually to prevent the berries from scorching.
• Skim any excessive foam that forms. Don't kill yourself over this step! Simply remove as much of the foam as possible.
• Once the sugar has fully dissolved, allow the jam to cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Ladle jam into clean, warm 1/2 pint mason jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
• Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth. Add warm rings and lids to jar - finger tight.
• Process the jars in a steam canner or boiling water bath canner. The processing time is based on the altitude in which you reside, see chart in the article.

Steps:

• 1. Puree peppers with some of the apple cider vinegar. I keep the seeds in the peppers. You can seed for less heat. Add to a 4 c. measuring cup with remaining cider vinegar. Crush berries and add to 4 c. measuring cup to equal 4 cups. ** you can tweek this to taste. My children do not like it very warm, so I'll cut back on the peppers, and add more berries. Just have four cups of produce/vinegar to add to pot with sugar.
• 2. Add sugar to 8 quart pot. Add jalapenos, berries & vinegar to sugar. Cook to full, hard boil where you can't stir it down. Boil for ten minutes.
• 3. Add one packet of fruit pectin to hot jam. Stir and boil for one more minute. Remove from heat. Most jalapeno recipes suggest 2 packets. I have made it both ways, and have no problem making it with one packet. I can make more batches using just one.
• 4. Fill clean jars and seal with warm canning lids and rings as you normally would when making jam. I also turn the ring back just a bit and turn jars upside down for 30-40 minutes.
