Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 pound ghost peppers (chopped (about 20-30 ghost peppers))
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ounces liquid fruit pectin
  • 4 drops red food coloring ( if preferred - NOTE: I didn't use any for this recipe.)

Instruction

  • Finely chop the ghost peppers and add them to a large pan.
  • Add sugar, vinegar, lime juice, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Strain out the ghost peppers and return the mixture to the pan.
  • Return heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Stir in pectin and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • If using food coloring, add it now and stir.
  • Ladle the hot liquid into clean jars and screw on the lids.
  • Cool overnight in the refrigerator. The mixture will solidify into jelly.
