Ingredients for Banana Pepper Jelly
This is all you need to make Pepper Jelly - easy & simple - just the way I like my recipes.
Sterilizing the Jars
First, you need to sterilize the jars before you make your jam/jelly.
Chopped Peppers (fresh from the Garden)
Next, I chopped the peppers. I used a mix of yellow and blush banana bell peppers and red and almost red paprika peppers.
Blending the Vinegar and the Peppers
I blended the vinegar and chopped peppers until there were only small bits of peppers left.
Boiling the Mixture
Next, I boiled this mixture with the rest of the vinegar and added the sugar and certo.
Pepper Jelly in the Jar
Finally, I ladled the mixture into the jars and processed it in a hot water bath to seal the lids. The 3/4 jar will be used as our tester jar to see how this recipe tastes. It looks beautiful in the jars and I have high hopes for it. However, last year we made a mustard recipe from the internet that had over 200 4 and 5 star ratings and it was complete crap and we wound up throwing it all out. So…..I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this one. If this works out, I can probably make this recipe another 25 times and still have peppers left over. Seriously.
