Instructions
Prepare Jars
- I sterilize 4–5 half-pint jars, lids, and rings by boiling or using a dishwasher, keeping them warm for this Easy Peach Pepper Jelly.

- In a large pot, I combine 3 cups peaches, ½ cup each bell peppers, 1–2 jalapeños, and ¼ cup vinegar, simmering gently for this vibrant peach jelly.
Add Pectin
- I stir in 1.75 oz pectin, bring to a full boil, and cook for 1 minute for this spicy fruit spread.
Add Sugar
- I add 5 cups sugar, stirring constantly, and boil 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved for this simple recipe.

- I ladle jelly into jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace, wipe rims, secure lids, and process in a water bath for 10 minutes, then cool 12–24 hours for this sweet-spicy condiment.
Notes
- Adjust jalapeños for more or less heat to suit your taste.
- For extra spice, keep some jalapeño seeds or add red pepper flakes.
