How to Make Blueberry Jalapeno Jelly

  1. Combine 1 cup finely chopped jalapenos, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Strain the blueberry mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or jelly bag, pressing on the solids to extract the juice. Discard the solids.
  5. Combine the jalapeno liquid and the blueberry juice in a large saucepan. Add 7 cups granulated sugar (or Splenda to taste). Stir to combine.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Skim off any foam from the surface. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Add 1 box (1.75 oz) liquid pectin and stir vigorously for 1 minute.
  8. Remove from heat. Skim off any remaining foam. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  9. Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult a canning guide for details).
  10. Remove jars from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear the lids 'pop' as they seal.
  11. If lids do not seal, refrigerate and use jelly immediately.
