Jalapeno Cranberry Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, put the sugar, ginger, jalapenos, orange zest and orange juice. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and set over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if the mixture appears too dry. Add in the lemon zest and juice and season with salt or a bit more sugar. Let cool completely and serve.

Steps:

• Place cranberry juice and jalapenos in a blender; cover and process until peppers are fully chopped. Strain through a seive pressing with the back of a spoon to remove all liquid. This can also be strained through a double-thickness of cheesecloth.
• Pour the strained juice into a Dutch oven; add vinegar. Stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; return to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil for 1 minute (no longer), stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat; skim off foam with a metal spoon. Add food coloring if desired. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain cranberries. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add cranberries, sugar, and jalapeno; simmer until skins pop and mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Transfer to metal bowl to cool. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
