INGREDIENTS FOR RASPBERRY HOT PEPPER JELLY

This recipe is perfect for gardeners who grow peppers in the summer. It is a good way to use up those peppers before they spoil.

  • Pectin
  • Raspberries
  • Peppers: banana pepper, jalapeno peppers, poblano pepper, lemon drop pepper, habanero pepper

HOW TO MAKE RASPBERRY HOT PEPPER JELLY

This is a simple jelly recipe that does not involve a full canning experience. I like to keep it simple at my house.

STEP ONE: PREPARE THE PEPPERS

The first step is to get the peppers ready. Remember to wear gloves while handling the hot peppers!!

Remove all the seeds and dice the peppers up into small pieces. If you don’t have the exact combination of peppers I have listed that is okay. Work with what you have on hand.

STEP TWO: COOK

Take a medium saucepan and combine the sugar, apple cider vinegar (or a substitute for apple cider vinegar), raspberries and the chopped peppers in the pan.

Bring the ingredients to a rolling boil, but watch it carefully so it doesn’t boil over.

Let the mixture boil for about a minute after it reaches the rolling boil and then remove from the heat.

Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.

STEP THREE: ADD PECTIN

Once the mixture has cooled for 5 minutes it is time to add the pectin. Stir the pectin in slowly.

STEP FOUR: ADD TO JARS

Pour the mixture into jelly jars. This recipe will make 6-7 8 ounce jelly jars worth of jelly!

You can refrigerate or freeze the jars.  My jelly is usually stored in the refrigerator because it won’t last long!

  1. Super easy. Set within a couple hours after canning, very pretty and getting lots of compliments on it. I played with heat so I made one batch for friends that don’t like much heat. Thaks for sharing!

    • I’m so glad you thought it was easy to make. Thanks for letting me know you received compliments on it. That was very thoughtful to make a batch for your friends with less heat.

    • I found this answer from Tastes Better From Scratch, “You can use frozen berries to make freezer jam! Be sure that the fruit is NOT sugared, substitute an equal amount of frozen fruit for fresh fruit, thaw the fruit to room temperature, and don’t drain the excess juice that is produced from the thawing process.”

  2. I made 4 batches of this recipe this afternoon. It tasted delicous! However, not a single jar set. Perhaps it will set overnight?

  3. Is this supposed to be a firm jelly? Mine is a bit runny. I used a powder pectin and I did a hot water bath to can it. Should i have used a liquid pectin?

    Reply
      • I use the powder sugar free pectin it seems to work much better I also used calrolina reaper , scorpian and jobka bruht peppers in mine but if you do this be very very careful handling them I wear a mask when I stir them in the hot liquit because it is strong and I make sure to use bell peppers as well

        Reply
    • Mine did nit set with liquid pectin. I think it should have cooked longer and checked with the frozen plate to make sure it was ready.

  4. So many recipes say to add the pectin with everything else first and then add the sugar after it begins to boil. Why is your recipe the opposite? Will it still get firm doing it in the order you recommend?

    Reply
    • Since you add the pectin at the end, it’s best to use liquid pectin. The recipes that use the pectin first, probably use dry pectin.

      Reply
    • The sugar is necessary to get the right firmness of the jelly, but you can use artificial sugar. Splenda works best (in combination with Sure Jell pectin). Likewise, you can use less sugar, but the jelly will be less firm.

      Reply
    • Yes, liquid pectin. You can use Splenda. If you do, they recommend SURE-JELL pectin to get the right firmness.
