Jalapeño Pepper Jelly

Ingredients
Method
Directions:
- This recipe works best when using the Ball freshTECH Automatic Jam and Jelly Maker.
- Sprinkle pectin evenly over the bottom of the jelly maker with the stirrer attached.
- Spread peppers evenly over pectin.
- Pour apple cider vinegar over peppers. Top with butter.
- Press the "jelly" button and adjust to 21 minutes. Press "enter" to start.
- After 4 minutes, the machine will beep. Add sugar and place the lid on the pot.
- While the jelly maker is running, place 4-5 glass (8 oz) jars in a stockpot of water and bring to a boil.
- When the jelly maker beeps after completion, carefully remove jars from hot water using a jar lifter. Fill jars with jelly, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Place lids and rings on jars. Make sure rings are tight. Place jars on a trivet or canning rack in the stockpot of simmering water. Make sure there is at least an inch of water covering the tops of the jars. When water comes to a boil, cover pot with a lid and process jars for 10 minutes.
- Turn off heat, remove the lid from the pot, and let jars sit in the water for 5 more minutes.
- Carefully remove jars from the water with a jar lifter. Jar lids will begin popping letting you know they are sealed. Let the jars cool for at least 24 hours before moving.
- Check seals before storing jars.
