How to Make Pepper Peach Jelly

  1. Wash and pit 4 cups of ripe peaches. Chop peaches into small pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped peaches with 1-2 habanero peppers, depending on desired heat level (halved for less heat, whole for more).
  3. Add 1 ½ cups of water to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and carefully strain the mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. You should have approximately 5 ½ cups of juice. Add water if needed to reach this amount.
  7. In a 6-8 quart saucepan, combine the peach juice with 7 cups of granulated sugar, 1 box Sure-Jell (powdered pectin), and ½ teaspoon of butter or margarine.
  8. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  9. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  10. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
  11. Quickly ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  12. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten securely.
  13. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  14. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check seals after cooling.
