Ingredients
- 1 medium-large fresh pineapple peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup finely chopped golden delicious (or other yellow apples) 1 large apple
- 1 cup finely chopped orange bell pepper from 1 large pepper
- 1-3 orange habanero peppers seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 3 ounces Certo liquid fruit pectin 1 pouch
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the finely chopped fresh pineapple in a strainer set over a bowl. Press on the pineapple with the back of a spoon to release as much of the juice as possible. Allow the pineapple to drain while you're prepping the other ingredients.
- Combine the sugar, vinegar, apple, bell pepper, habanero, red pepper flakes, butter and exactly 3 cups of the well-drained pineapple in a large pot. (If you have extra pineapple save it for your morning yogurt or something else. Don't try to add more than 3 cups.)
- Stir until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and cook for 10 minutes. Watch the pot carefully and lower the heat a bit if the bubbling jelly rises near the top.
- Add Certo and lemon juice and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Cook for exactly 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam on the surface. Ladle jelly into clean jars leaving a ½-inch space at the top. (this will allow for expansion in the freezer.)
- Cover with lids and allow the jelly to sit for 24 hours, then place in freezer.
- If using the hot water bath method, use sterilized jars and immediately proceed with the water bath canning method. Jelly may take 24 hours to set completely.
