How to Make Pomegranate Chili Jelly

  1. Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Prepare a water bath canner; fill with water and bring to a rolling boil.
  3. Combine 1 cup pomegranate juice and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Roughly chop 1 jalapeño pepper, 1 serrano pepper, and 1/2 habanero pepper (remove seeds and membranes for less heat). Puree the chilies with 1/2 cup of the simmering pomegranate juice in a blender until smooth.
  5. In a large saucepan, combine the chili puree, remaining pomegranate juice (from step 3), 4 cups sugar, and 1 (1.75 ounce) pouch liquid pectin.
  6. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  7. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  8. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  9. Ladle the hot jelly into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  10. Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip tight.
  11. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  12. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
