How to Make Orange Jalapeno Jelly

  1. Combine orange juice, orange zest, jalapenos, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Stir in the sugar and pectin. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal with lids and rings.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  9. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
  10. Once cooled, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If it doesn’t flex, it’s sealed!
