This is the first video in the new Holiday Series, focusing on tasty, traditional foods that you can prepare and serve at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. We love to eat Hot Pepper Jelly with cream cheese and Ritz Crackers as an hors d'oeuvre over the holidays, but it can also be used as a tasty way to dress up chicken or pork.

I just lowered my jars into the water-bath canner. Smells great and looks beautiful. Now to figure out how to make the same consistency with more peppers.

@OldTimeKnowledge Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure what to tell you about that. I do know that you’ll want to make sure that it is acidic enough for a water bath canning so you don’t want to add so much pepper that it throws off the acidity of the final product. But I also know that you can obviously can whole jars of pickles or pickled peppers and so forth as long as there’s enough vinegar in it then it should be fine. Maybe just look around for other pepper jelly recipes and see if you see any that call for a greater quantity of peppers. I’ll be interested in what you find out!

Well, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to make these with only hot peppers, but if you do, this jelly is going to be HOT 🔥, and since the recipe also has vinegar, I suspect that might intensify the heat. 🥵 By all means try it out! Let me know how it goes. 😃

Do the peppers stay to the top or does it settle down through out the jam.

@OldTimeKnowledge Жыл бұрын

Well, looking at my jars, it does seem like they stay more to the top half of the jar, although there are a few that got suspended in the jelly down lower. I've always seen these canned in these little 4 oz. jars, though, so it almost doesn't matter. This isn't like Jello... it really is more like a jam once you pour it out.

Hi, new subscriber here. Thank you for this (hopefully) easy recipe. My question is, how did you know you needed to add more pectin?

@OldTimeKnowledge Жыл бұрын

I could just tell the jelly wasn't setting like it should. The best way to know is to test a bit on a plate and put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. See if it is still super runny and liquid, or if it is clinging to the plate. Also, welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're here. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!

@lauriedaniels9620 Жыл бұрын

Can you make this safe using reduce sugar pectin sure jell ???

@OldTimeKnowledge Жыл бұрын

I don’t think the amount of sugar or type of pectin is going to impact the safety of this because of how much vinegar is used. You might look up other pepper jelly recipes that use reduced sugar pectin just to see what others have to say. The main thing is make sure you have plenty of vinegar as written because that is what keeps it acidic enough to make it safe for water bath canning.

@bonniebeach2974 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t own a canner. Is there another way to give them the water bath?

@OldTimeKnowledge 2 жыл бұрын

You can water bath something like this in any pot that’s deep enough to put the jars in and cover them with at least an inch or two of water. It’s also important that your jars aren’t sitting directly on the bottom of the pot so you’ll either want to fashion some sort of rack on the bottom or I’ve heard some people will even use a dish towel at the bottom of the pot, although I’ve not tried that myself. The main thing is you just not want the bottoms of the jars bumping against the bottom of the pot because that direct heat is just too much for the glass.

You shouldn’t need more than that, but to fix jelly or jam that didn’t set the first time, you can use the instructions here: www.pickyourown.org/how_to_fix_runny_jam.htm You might want to give it 24 to 48 hours, first, to make sure it doesn’t set further. Sometimes it can take that long for a jam or jelly to fully set.

Hmm... it's possible you used too much Sure Jel, or maybe too much diced peppers? Occasionally, I'll have a jam or jelly come out a bit too thick, but usually, it's when it's a no added pectin recipe and I overcook it. I did this a couple of years ago with strawberry jam.
