How To Make lemon jalapeno jelly

Step 1

Combine vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest and jalapeno peppers in a blender. Process stop-and-go fashion to desired fineness. Combine with sugar in saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil hard for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and skim to remove foam. Cool 2 minutes, then mix in pectin and food color.

Step 2

Pour into sterilized jars and fasten lids. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes, if desired, or refrigerate (the original recipe did not call for processing). Cool.
Step 3

Invert jars a few times after about 30 minutes of cooling to distribute peppers evenly before jelly completely sets.
