Jalapeno Jelly ### Ingredients:

1 pound jalapeno peppers, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Wear gloves when handling jalapeno peppers to avoid irritation.
In a large pot, combine the chopped jalapenos, apple cider vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the jalapenos infuse well.
After 20 minutes, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl or pot, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Add the sugar, lemon juice, and salt to the liquid you have just strained. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Return the mixture to the stove and bring it back to a boil. Allow it to boil for another 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches a jelly-like consistency. You can test this by putting a small spoonful on a cold plate; if it holds its shape, it’s ready!
Once ready, pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal with lids.
Let the jars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. The jalapeno jelly will keep in the fridge for several weeks.

Your homemade jalapeno jelly is now ready to enjoy! Spread it on your favorite crackers, use it as a glaze for meats, or simply pair it with a cheese plate. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors!
