Red Pepper Jam has just three-ingredients, is sweet, can be spicy (or not), and is the perfect thing to serve over soft cheese and set out with crackers in the fall and over the holidays. It also makes a wonderful homemade gift at Christmas. This recipe makes enough jelly to fill about three 8-oz jars (or six 4-oz jars). To adjust, click on the number next to servings.

30 servings

What you need

1 lb red bell pepper, (important - weigh the bell peppers after the stems and cores have been removed; you should need about 4 regular bell peppers)

1 tsp red pepper flake, (add more or less according to your spice preference; you can always taste and add more after cooking)

3 cup white sugar

1 cup white wine vinegar

1 tbsp unsalted butter

¾ tsp kosher salt, (I use Morton’s)

Instructions


10 In a food processor, combine red bell peppers and red pepper flakes. Pulse until very finely chopped. 
11 Combine bell pepper mixture, sugar, vinegar, butter, and salt in a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat. Boil mixture for 10 to 15 minutes (the longer it boils the thicker it will be - 10 minutes will give you a very loose jelly; 15 minutes will give you a more spreadable consistency). The jelly will thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems loose right after boiling. 
12 Divide jelly between jars, leaving at least 1/3-inch of headspace at the top (this is especially important if you are planning to freeze the jelly because it will expand as it freezes).
13 Let jelly come to room temperature and then add lids. 
14 Refrigerate or freeze jelly until ready to use. (Jelly will keep for several weeks in the fridge and up to six months in the freezer.)
