I was wondering if you have ever tried a Rhubarb pepper jelly?
Sue
May 18, 2019 at 5:44 pmNo but I’m planning at least 2 rhubarb jelly/jam experiments next week, and that’s on my list, I love the idea!

My fiancé and I made this jalapeño pepper jelly but we canned it and it didn’t thicken up! We made it in the canner because we don’t have enough freezer room. Do you have any idea as why they didn’t gel? It made 7 half-pints.
Thank you.

July 24, 2018 at 5:35 amA good pepper jelly is a MUST in my refrigerator. They are great as simple spreads, but I also use them as glaze starters or as a quick topping for grilled foods. I love this collection of recipes!

July 24, 2018 at 4:45 amYum! I can make a meal on cream cheese (or goat cheese), pepper jelly and crackers! Thanks so much for including our pineapple pepper jelly in this lovely collection :)

July 22, 2018 at 7:10 pmSince we unofficially “met” on the weekend, I wanted to respond to this post. Talk about perfect color and flavor explosions…the jalepeno jams are all so beautiful, but I’ve never seen anything like the Rosé Wine Hot Pepper Jelly. All of a sudden I’m planning a bridal or baby shower with jars of that as the main element – for food and decoration! The second one I’ll try is your Hot Pepper Cranberry Jam. Just found a bag of frozen cranberries that needs using before fall arrives. Thanks for bringing us along on your preserving adventure!

July 22, 2018 at 5:40 pm1) Do you know if Sure Jell is vegetarian? If not, is there a good substitute that is vegetarian?
2) You mention goat and cream cheese for these hot jellies…….are there any specially delightful combinations that you would recommend ? Like which different cheeses with which of your hot jellies?
thank you for your help.
Sue
July 22, 2018 at 7:27 pmYes, Sure Jell is vegetarian/vegan. And really, Mino, I have never met a hot pepper jam or jelly that didn’t go great with cream cheese or creamy goat cheese, for a little more tang. They’re also great with triple cream, Brie, and Camembert.

July 22, 2018 at 11:58 amI also do Raspberry and Blueberry pepper jelly. I think the combination of any berries with the peppers is awesome.
Sue
July 22, 2018 at 12:12 pmI’ve been planning to make a raspberry hot pepper jam all summer, but I’ve never heard of blueberry, that sounds interesting!

May 4, 2019 at 9:11 amHello Sue, You definitely have to try the Blueberry Jalapeno Jelly. I made some this past summer and it turned out Awesome! I have a juicer that steams the fruit for the juice and it comes out so clear, so I steamed my Jalapenos instead of dicing the peppers. I have about 40 Blueberry bushes on my farm and my husband plants about 15 different kinds of peppers, sweet and hot, so I always have a good variety to choose from. Also, Try Blackberry Jalapeno, It’s to die for!
Sue
May 4, 2019 at 9:50 amMy heart is racing just thinking about your blueberries and peppers, but first up for me is the blackberry, that does sound incredible!
