Ingredients
- 5 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeno peppers
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Red bell pepper
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Yellow bell pepper
- 1 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Green bell pepper
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 oz (2 packets, typically) Liquid pectin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and finely chop the jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Use gloves while handling the jalapenos to avoid irritation.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium, and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Increase the heat again to bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir in the liquid pectin and boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the jam.
Step 7
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Step 8
Seal the jars with sterilized lids and rings. If preserving, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Step 9
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator if not processed in a water bath, or in a cool, dark place if properly canned.
Step 10
Serve the jam as a spread, dip, or glaze. Enjoy the zesty, sweet-and-spicy flavor of your homemade Calico Jalapeno Jam!
