Perfect to add on cheese platters, and glazes for meats and also Easy to make at home.<\/p>
<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>- <\/span>
3 cups of apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 cup red bell pepper (finely chopped)<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 cup green bell pepper (finely chopped)<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1-2 jalape\u00f1o peppers (seeded and finely chopped)<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 \u00bd cups apple cider vinegar<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
5 cups granulated sugar<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
1 packet (3 oz) liquid pectin<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
A pinch of salt<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span>Directions<\/span><\/h3>- First, Wash, peel, and cut the apples into small pieces. Take out the core. Then, chop the red, and green peppers, and jalape\u00f1os. If you don\u2019t want it too spicy, use fewer jalape\u00f1os as I did.<\/li>
- Cook the mixture: Put the apples, peppers, vinegar, and sugar in a big pot. Stir them together and heat them until they start boiling.<\/li>
- Once it boils, turn the heat down and let it cook for 10 minutes. Stir sometimes to mix the flavors.<\/li>
- After 10 minutes, add the pectin. Bring it to a boil again for 1-2 minutes. The jelly will start to thicken. You can add food coloring here if you want it more orange.<\/li>
- Put a little jelly on a cold plate and wait a minute. If it stays firm when you touch it, it\u2019s ready. If not, cook for another minute or two.<\/li>
- When the jelly is thick enough, carefully put it into clean jars. Leave a small space at the top, clean the edges, and close the lids. Boil the jars in hot water for 10 minutes to seal them. Enjoy.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>

<\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t- Try to Choose firm, fresh apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp will work well for this recipe.<\/li>
- Bell peppers give the jelly color and sweetness, while jalape\u00f1os add a spiciness to the taste. If you want a spicier jelly, keep the seeds. and of course, remove the seeds if you want a middle taste.<\/li>
- Once it reaches a boil, lower the heat. Boiling too much can make the jelly too thick.<\/li>
- If you're unsure about jelly consistency, use a candy thermometer. The jelly should reach 220\u00b0F to set properly.<\/li>
- If you decide to use food coloring, add a drop at a time. Mix and see if it\u2019s the shade of orange you like before adding more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>
