• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 6 jars 250ml

ingredients

• 3 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar, divided
• 3 tablespoons pectin
• 6 cups red peppers, cut into chunks
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped
• 1⁄8 teaspoon sea salt

directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk ¾ cup sugar with pectin; set aside. In a bowl of a food processor, combine red peppers and red pepper flakes; process for 15 seconds or until somewhat finely chopped. You should have about 2 ½ cups give or take.
2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add red peppers, sugar, white vinegar, butter, fresh tarragon and sea salt. Stir very well and bring it to a boil; cook for 4 minutes. Add sugar-pectin mixture and cook for an additional 4 minutes. If there are some larger chunks of pepper, purée with an immersion blender.
3. To find out if it’s ready, dip a metal spoon in iced cold water. Dry it off and scoop up some jelly. Let it cool off to room temperature. If it sets up, it means it’s ready otherwise cook it a little longer.
4. Remove from the heat and fill up the prepared jars. Process the jars in the boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Place them in a draft-free area and wait until the lids snap down. Makes 6 jars of 250ml.

I made this over the weekend and it is delicious! The only change that I made was to omit the pepper flakes. I used a variety of hot peppers instead and added a splash of balsamic vinegar (just because) . It has just the right amount of heat for my liking. This was my first time making jelly so, I did appreciate having the video to check with. Thanks so much for sharing.
