Ingredients
- 10 whole Jalapeno peppers
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1.25 cups White vinegar
- 1.5 cups Truvia (granulated sugar substitute)
- 1 packet Low-sugar pectin
- 0.5 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Finely chop the jalapenos and the green bell pepper, or pulse them in a food processor until finely minced.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once boiling, turn the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to extract the flavors from the peppers.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Whisk in the low-sugar pectin and boil the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the pectin dissolves evenly.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Seal the jars with clean lids and rings. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
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!
