Grape Habanero Jelly

Husker44A · Oct 16, 2014

So guys and gals. I had some fresh Habanero peppers from the garden this year. First time peppers for me. Also, had some frozen grapes from last year that need a use. So why not make some jelly ?? Ended up with thirteen pints and a quart jar. But, its having a little trouble setting up. Its been over four hours now and still a little runny. What happened ? Followed the desctructions for grape jelly and used liquid pectin like i always do. Its got some heat but not overpowering. Thats how i like it.

Adding things to the mix can cause problems with jellies I have learned that over the years. So if say you add more you need more pectin to have it work as it should and longer heat time

Old, i guess i jumped the gun a little bit. Didnt wait long enough for the jelly to setup. Ive made a lot of jelly over the years and always had a little setting problems with pepper jelly. Dont know or havent figured it out why yet. Other seam to have zero issues. More learning i guess.

Many things come into play. If your pectin is out of date that messes thing up. Plus if you do not get things up to a true rolling boil that can cause problems. But then getting them up to to much of a boil causes a spoil over problem which is also bad. Been doing this canning thing for years now and still learning things. If I had to count how many jars of food I have here that I canned it would take me 24 hours or so. I have 4 shelves in this room floor to ceiling full of jars

Now grape jelly with a little kick sounds good!

I bought a jalepeno jelly at a tractor show this summer... but didn't really like it, had quite a lot of lemon flavor! Wasn't expecting that.
