Ingredients

• 2 large Red bell peppers (seeded and chopped)
• 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (seeded and chopped)
• 0.75 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 3 tablespoons Low-sugar pectin
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red bell peppers and jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Remove the seeds and stems, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 2

Place the chopped bell peppers and jalapeño peppers into a food processor. Pulse until finely minced but not pureed. Alternatively, chop very finely by hand if preferred.

Step 3

In a large non-reactive saucepan, combine the minced peppers, apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Stir to mix well.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener) with the low-sugar pectin until well combined.

Step 6

Slowly add the sweetener and pectin mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.

Step 7

Increase the heat and bring the jelly mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Carefully pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. If necessary, wipe the rims clean before sealing with sterilized lids.

Step 9

Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator. The jelly will thicken as it cools.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process in a water bath canner according to safe canning guidelines for long-term preservation.
