How to Make Sweet Hot Jalapeno Jelly

  1. Combine 2 pounds red jalapenos, 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, and 1/4 cup lime juice in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth (about 15-20 seconds).
  4. Return the blended mixture to the saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 5 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  6. Stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a full rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  8. Skim off any remaining foam. Pour into sterilized jars or containers.
  9. Let the jelly cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.
  10. Once completely cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for best flavor.
