Easy-to-make spicy cranberry jelly recipe made with jalapeno peppers and cranberries. Delicious and sweet.
RECIPE
Ingredients
2 cups ripe cranberries
2 cups jalapeno peppers chopped (about 6-8 average size jalapeno peppers)
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
6 cups sugar You can get away with 4 cups
6 ounces liquid pectin (2 pouches)
Instructions
Add cranberries, jalapenos, vinegar and water to a large pot. Bring to a boil. Lightly boil 10 minutes, until the berries begin to pop and soften.
Squash the berries in the pot to squeeze out their juices. Strain into a large bowl. I used a food mill to get extra juices out. You should have about 2.5 cups of liquid at this point.
Toss away the solids and add the liquid back into the pot.
Add sugar and swirl to incorporate.
Add pectin and boil for 2 minutes.
Cool and ladle into jars. Should fill about eight 8-ounce jars.
Cover and refrigerate, then let the jam set overnight.
