I used to chop my veggies in a food processor to save time. They had a shredded look to them. I appreciate how you patiently chopped them into cubes. They have a much better finished product. Now I know why my pepper jelly never came out as perfect as grandmas. It does now!

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Oh, thank you! Well, I just got my first food processor from my son about a year go and I've still not used it for many things. I guess now I can save myself from even bothering to try it for the pepper jelly. I'll take your word for it that dicing it up turns out better. Thanks for the tip!

[@cut--]

@@OldTimeKnowledge I do use a big food processor in the fall when I have bushels of canning to do, but on a relaxed Saturday in early spring it was therapeutic to hand dice =)

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

@@cut-- What are some of your favorite things to can? I've been all about canning soups lately. I'm pretty well stocked on meats, but I just feel like I can never have enough soup ready to go.

[@josiekowatch2953]

I love your recipe and the fact that you do measurements like some other ones don’t do measurements they just said three peppers or four pepper, so whatever peppers but not the measurements as cups. Thank you for doing that. It always helps when you do measurements.

Love the simplicity of the video. I should be able to do this with hot only correct? Im doing reaper, bonnets, scorpion jellies

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Well, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to make these with only hot peppers, but if you do, this jelly is going to be HOT 🔥, and since the recipe also has vinegar, I suspect that might intensify the heat. 🥵 By all means try it out! Let me know how it goes. 😃

[@Reality-50s]

[@MelissaBeesHomestead]

I just lowered my jars into the water-bath canner. Smells great and looks beautiful. Now to figure out how to make the same consistency with more peppers.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I’m not sure what to tell you about that. I do know that you’ll want to make sure that it is acidic enough for a water bath canning so you don’t want to add so much pepper that it throws off the acidity of the final product. But I also know that you can obviously can whole jars of pickles or pickled peppers and so forth as long as there’s enough vinegar in it then it should be fine. Maybe just look around for other pepper jelly recipes and see if you see any that call for a greater quantity of peppers. I’ll be interested in what you find out!

Easy to follow video with clear instructions. If pectin is difficult to acquire, can I use Xanthan Gum instead?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about xantham gum, so I'm not sure.

Ball canning says on their boxes that you can count on the food being good for 18 months, but often it will last even longer than that.

[@lindajames4122]

I want to make this in a couple of days. Can I double the recipe or should I make two batches. Thankyou for the recipe.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure! I would think you could double the recipe, but if it were me, I think I might do one batch first just to make sure I'm pleased with the end product and then do the second. I hope you enjoy this pepper jelly!

[@nchrist4ever560]

You can use lemon instead of sure jell

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Interesting! Do you have a recipe you can share?

[@josiekowatch2953]

Where can I find the tool that you use to lift the lids up so you won’t contaminate them?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

That's a little jar lid lifter tool that usually comes with canning starter sets, like this one: amzn.to/48bq4iT

[@donate1sttt]

How many jars did you get? It didn't say and couldn't tell. Nice video, looks tasty

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Hi there! In the video description I provide the full recipe in case you need it. 🙂 This recipe makes about a dozen 4 oz. jars or 6 half-pint jars.

[@tuchah187]

How would I make this with Mayhaw berry juice?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Unfortunately, I have no idea what that is. I suggest going to the website for the National Center of Home Food Preservation. They have many canning recipes.

[@lauriedaniels9620]

Can you make this safe using reduce sugar pectin sure jell ???

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I don’t think the amount of sugar or type of pectin is going to impact the safety of this because of how much vinegar is used. You might look up other pepper jelly recipes that use reduced sugar pectin just to see what others have to say. The main thing is make sure you have plenty of vinegar as written because that is what keeps it acidic enough to make it safe for water bath canning.

[@loripeer1]

Can you substitute honey for the sugar?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I'm not sure. I have never tried making jams or jellies with honey. Seems like it might not set as well, though.

[@deliaforet8997]

Can you add habanero peppers to it

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

You certainly can, but I’d be afraid to do it! 🌶️🥵🔥😂

[@deliaforet8997]

@Old Time Knowledge Thank you so much for your quick reply. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@auroracastellanos6468]

Hi! Just tried your recipe it taste delicious but i feel it’s to thick what did i do wrong?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Hmm... it's possible you used too much Sure Jel, or maybe too much diced peppers? Occasionally, I'll have a jam or jelly come out a bit too thick, but usually, it's when it's a no added pectin recipe and I overcook it. I did this a couple of years ago with strawberry jam.

[@cathypreast3833]

I am looking to make Rasberry Hot Pepper Jelly. Would you happen to know how much Rasberry I should add ?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I’ll be honest, I don’t know anything about that. I suggest just doing a Google search for a raspberry pepper jelly recipe.

[@DonnaDeen13]

Hi, new subscriber here. Thank you for this (hopefully) easy recipe. My question is, how did you know you needed to add more pectin?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

I could just tell the jelly wasn't setting like it should. The best way to know is to test a bit on a plate and put it in the freezer for a couple of minutes. See if it is still super runny and liquid, or if it is clinging to the plate. Also, welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're here. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment!

[@DonnaDeen13]

@@OldTimeKnowledge okay, gotcha. I’ve only canned apple butter and onion glaze (or something like that) I’ve never used pectin. Thanks for replying back to me.

[@bonniebeach2974]

I don’t own a canner. Is there another way to give them the water bath?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

You can water bath something like this in any pot that’s deep enough to put the jars in and cover them with at least an inch or two of water. It’s also important that your jars aren’t sitting directly on the bottom of the pot so you’ll either want to fashion some sort of rack on the bottom or I’ve heard some people will even use a dish towel at the bottom of the pot, although I’ve not tried that myself. The main thing is you just not want the bottoms of the jars bumping against the bottom of the pot because that direct heat is just too much for the glass.

[@LoveofNatures2025]

Do the peppers stay to the top or does it settle down through out the jam.

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Well, looking at my jars, it does seem like they stay more to the top half of the jar, although there are a few that got suspended in the jelly down lower. I've always seen these canned in these little 4 oz. jars, though, so it almost doesn't matter. This isn't like Jello... it really is more like a jam once you pour it out.

I don't know if you can use stevia to make this jelly. I think for this particular recipe, the sugar is necessary to make it set correctly.

[@linbin7273]

I made this, needed more pectin, so how much extra did you add? Recipe only called for 1 1/2 boxes of Sure Gel way to thin! First batch, wonderful flavor and color, but it did not set up!

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

You shouldn’t need more than that, but to fix jelly or jam that didn’t set the first time, you can use the instructions here: www.pickyourown.org/how_to_fix_runny_jam.htm You might want to give it 24 to 48 hours, first, to make sure it doesn’t set further. Sometimes it can take that long for a jam or jelly to fully set.

[@BitchinStitchez]

I have seen a lot of reviews on allrecipes that state to use 2 full packages of Sure Jell powder. Which is what I will be doing.

[@fayworsham2215]

Probably needed 9 tablespoons. That’s what I use.

When did you add the extra pectin or Sure Jel?

[@OldTimeKnowledge]

Oh gracious, it's been months since I made this. I'm pretty sure that I realized as soon as they were done that they needed more pectin, so I added more and then processed the jars.
