Spicy Habanero Jelly

This sweet and spicy habanero jelly is the perfect addition to any good BBQ, add it to your burgers sandwiches or as a beautiful addition to your favorite charcuterie spread.

We love to have this jelly withs some great cracker with a simple cream cheese. this allows the jelly to be the start that it is. It is also an amazing topping in a burger, sandwich or really anything you can think of.

when you make this please make sure to let me know how you use yours. I love all the suggestions.

I will say please be patient and careful while making this recipe. jelly takes a while to set up sometimes and even when you think it is not working it probably is. When you begin to blend the peppers in the food processor make sure you give the peppers time to settle in before removing the lid. The first time I made this kind of recipe it never crossed my mind I fully pepper-sprayed myself and my face burned for the rest of the day.

Ingredients you will need

• Orange bell pepper – if your habaneros are red use red bell peppers. using the same color allows for a bright and beautiful jelly.
• Habanero peppers – we grew our own last summer. 1 plant gave us hundreds of peppers.
• Pectin crystals – brings the whole jelly together.
• Cider vinegar – cuts the sweetness of the sugar.
• Butter – soothes out the texture and gives some great flavor to the jelly.
• Sugar – an essential ingredient to jelly making.
