Ingredients
2
cups
datil peppers
seeded and chopped
3
Tbsp
Real Fruit Pectin
2
cups
filtered water
Optional - 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
Wash, deseed, and finely chop datil peppers.
Combine chopped peppers and sugar in a saucepan. Let sit for 10 minutes for sugar to dissolve.
Heat over medium until boiling, then simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Gradually add pectin, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Check by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate; if it thickens, it's ready. Cook for 5 more minutes if needed.
Skim off any foam during cooking for a clear jelly.
Ladle hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
Wipe rims, seal jars, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
Once done, cool on a towel-covered surface, listening for popping lids indicating a proper seal.
Label jars with date and type, then store them in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
