How to Make Hot Jalapeno Pepper Jelly

  1. Wash and finely chop the jalapeños, removing seeds and membranes for less heat or leaving them in for extra spice.
  2. Combine jalapeños, lemon juice, and pectin in a large saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  3. Add sugar and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Once boiling, continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
  9. Once cool, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
