Easy Hot Pepper Jelly Recipe:

Even if you’ve never made jelly or jam before, you can make this recipe!  Super simple, quick and oh so tasty, you’ll be asking yourself why you don’t make it more often.  Switch it up and use jalapeño peppers and green bell peppers for another delicious and beautiful combination in gorgeous green!

About Hot Cherry Peppers:

Look for Hot Cherry Peppers in the same aisle that you would find pickles. You’ll find them in a jar. Delallo brand sells a variety of hot red cherry peppers, as well as a few other brands too.

Ways to use Hot Pepper Jelly:

There are so many ways to use Hot Pepper Jelly in your everyday dishes and appetizers.  One of my personal favorites is sweet ham and Brie cheese on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls with a big spoonful of Hot Pepper Jelly on top.  Warm the rolls, ham and cheese quickly in the microwave, then top with jelly.  Finally, all you have to do is sit back and watch these hearty appetizer sliders be gobbled up in a flash! Don’t forget to make the terrific, classic appetizer everyone loves. Pickup a package of really good hearty crackers, spread with soft cream cheese and a big dollop of Hot Pepper Jelly. That’s it! Great for football parties, after school snacks, appetizers, holiday eats and just because. Another easy way to use this jelly is to warm it in the microwave for just a few seconds, then brush on grilled chicken or skewers minutes before it comes off the grill. You can also add a big spoonful of jelly to pan drippings when making chicken or other meats. The jelly adds a nice sweet bite to just about everything.

We love this chunky style Hot Pepper Jelly with loads of peppers and less sugar than many store-bought brands. If you’re not a ‘canner’ no need to worry. This small batch jelly keeps fresh for up to three weeks stored in airtight jars in the refrigerator. Remember, it won’t last long!
