Tangerine Pepper Jelly

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Jalapeño peppers Medium or small-sized works well.
  • 2 Bell peppers We used one red and yellow, but any color would do.
  • 2 Serrano chilis
  • 1 Habanero pepper Small
  • 1 quart Tangerine purée Could also use orange puree or juice here too.
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice You may need a few limes to accomplish this.
  • ¼ cup White vinegar
  • 4 cup Sugar
  • 1 ½ package Fruit pectin

Instructions

  • Start by washing and finely dicing all peppers (either with a knife or food processor), making sure to remove the ribs and seeds. Lightly sauté in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  • Once the peppers have turned almost translucent (3-5 minutes), add tangerine purée, lime juice, and vinegar to the mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Stir in the pectin next. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred), stirring constantly for 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the sugar. Return to full rolling boil for exactly one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skimming off any foam with a metal spoon (if necessary).
  • Boil water and pour it into mason jars to prevent cracking when adding the jelly. Pour out water and pour the jelly into the jars carefully with a funnel until about 1/4 inch of space is left, covering tightly with lids.
  • Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks (once opened), or boil the jars in a saucepan, with water covering 1-2 inches above the lids for 10 minutes to seal and keep in the pantry (a cool, dark place) for up to 1 year. Jars are sealed when you can press the tops of the lids and they don't pop or bounce back.

Notes

  • *If making jelly to preserve fruits/vegetables and not for immediate use, prepare water-bath canner, jars, and lids according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
