raspberry jalapeno jelly

Updated on May 18, 2026

I checked on Just A Pinch and didn't see this recipe, so I thought I'd post it. There are a few pepper jellies on here, but I did not see a raspberry jalapeno one. I just got done making 117 jars of this jelly with berries from my berry patch. It is a hot item around here; people ask me for it all the time. It's a great grab-and-go for a last-minute party appetizer. It also makes a great gift. It's great served with cream cheese and crackers. I like Flips myself. Hope you like this as much as I do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This raspberry jalapeno jelly has some heat and is a fantastic pepper jelly. If you don't like heat, make sure to deseed the jalapenos. Fresh raspberries add sweetness to offset the heat from the jalapenos. Pour over cream cheese and serve with crackers for an easy party appetizer. This homemade jelly would make a lovely hostess gift, too.

We got 18 4-ounce jars from this recipe. If canned properly, these should last 12 months on the shelf. We ran the bell peppers and jalapenos through a food processor to get them fine, and pulsed the raspberries a few times to slightly break them down.
