Ingredients

• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Jalapeño peppers
• 0.75 cups Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol or allulose (keto sweetener)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Powdered gelatin
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red bell peppers and jalapeño peppers thoroughly, then remove the stems and seeds. Be careful while handling jalapeños—wear gloves if necessary to avoid irritation.

Step 2

Finely dice the bell peppers and jalapeños. Alternatively, you can pulse them in a food processor until finely chopped. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, granulated erythritol (or allulose), and water. Stir well and place over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped peppers, lemon juice, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While the mixture simmers, in a small bowl, bloom the powdered gelatin by sprinkling it over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to hydrate.

Step 6

Once the pepper mixture has simmered and the peppers have softened, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved and no clumps remain.

Step 7

Allow the jelly mixture to cool slightly for 10 minutes, then pour it into sterilized jars or airtight containers.

Step 8

Let the jelly cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the jelly to set.

Step 9

Serve as a condiment, glaze, or dip. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
