Pineapple Pepper Jelly

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh crushed pineapple
  • ½ cup bell pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ cup vinegar, white or apple
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon butter
  • 1.5 ounces pectin (½ pouch)
  • 1 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Combine the sugar, vinegar, bell pepper, red pepper flakes, butter and pineapple in a large pot.
  2. Stir until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Watch the pot carefully and lower the heat a bit if the bubbling jelly rises near the top.
  4. Add pectin and lemon juice and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam on the surface.
  6. Ladle jelly into clean jars leaving a ½-inch space at the top. (this will allow for expansion in the freezer.)
  7. Cover with lids and allow the jelly to sit for 24 hours, then place in freezer.
