Wash and dry the jalapeno peppers and green bell pepper. Remove the stems and seeds for a milder jelly, or leave the seeds if you prefer more heat.
Finely chop the jalapenos and the green bell pepper, or pulse them in a food processor until finely minced.
In a large non-reactive pot, combine the peppers, white vinegar, and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, turn the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to extract the flavors from the peppers.
After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another pot to remove the pepper solids, leaving you with a smooth pepper-infused liquid. You can skip this step if you prefer a chunkier jelly.
Return the strained liquid (or unstrained mixture, if preferred) to the pot and stir in Truvia, salt, and optional green food coloring. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Whisk in the low-sugar pectin and boil the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the pectin dissolves evenly.
Remove the pot from the heat and ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars with clean lids and rings. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a kitchen towel. Check the seals once cooled; the lids should not flex when pressed.
Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2-3 weeks. Enjoy your sugar-free jalapeno jelly on crackers, sandwiches, or as a meat glaze!
