Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 12 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
  • 5 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Sterilize jars, lids, and rings. Keep warm until ready to use.
  2. In a large pot, combine chopped peaches, red and green bell peppers, jalapeños, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Stir in powdered pectin and bring mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add all the sugar at once. Stir continuously and return to a rolling boil. Boil for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam as needed.
  6. Ladle hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe rims clean, place lids on, and screw on rings until fingertip-tight.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
  8. Let jars cool undisturbed for 12–24 hours. Check seals before storing in a cool, dark place.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeños for more or less heat to suit your taste.
  • For extra spice, keep some jalapeño seeds or add red pepper flakes.
  • Perfect served over cream cheese, with grilled meats, or on biscuits and toast.
