Cooking Instructions
- Pour the orange juice into a medium saucepan. Add orange zest, diced red bell pepper, minced serranos, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Heat the mixture over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves and you hear a gentle simmer.
- Bring it to a full boil where bubbles rush across the surface; this activates the pectin.
- Once boiling, sprinkle in the powdered fruit pectin and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to prevent lumps.
- Let the mixture boil steadily for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Watch for the syrup to thicken and cling with a glossy sheen.
- When the jelly coats a spoon and the edges look slightly darker, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Spoon into sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace, and seal. You'll hear pops as jars cool and seal.
- Let jars sit at room temperature until completely cool before chilling.
Notes
Keep sealed jars refrigerated for up to 3 weeks. Use as a glaze or on cheese boards. Can add a tablespoon of honey for richer sweetness.
