Raspberry Hot Pepper Jelly ### Ingredients:

2 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup finely chopped hot peppers (such as jalapeños or habaneros, adjust according to your spice preference)
1 cup apple cider vinegar
5 cups granulated sugar
1 pouch (3 oz) liquid fruit pectin

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries, chopped hot peppers, and apple cider vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and mash the berries and peppers with a potato masher to release the juices. After that, allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into another large pot, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids left in the sieve.
Add the sugar to the strained juice and stir until it is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture back to a rapid boil.
Once boiling, add the liquid pectin and continue to boil for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure it sets properly.
Remove the pot from heat. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims to ensure a good seal.
Seal the jars with sterilized lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5 to 10 minutes. The jelly will thicken as it cools.

After processing, let the jars cool completely on a clean towel. You’ll have a deliciously sweet and spicy Raspberry Hot Pepper Jelly that’s perfect for spreading on crackers, topping on cheese, or using as a glaze for meats. Enjoy your homemade treat that’s sure to impress!
