Eggless Pepper Jelly

Few condiments hit the sweet-heat balance quite like a homemade pepper jelly, and this version is a genuine showstopper. Red and green bell peppers bring vibrant color and mellow sweetness, while jalapeños add a kick you can dial up or down simply by keeping or removing the seeds and ribs. Apple cider vinegar gives the whole thing a bright, tangy backbone that makes it just as good spooned over cream cheese on a cracker as it is glazed onto grilled chicken. The ingredient list is naturally free of eggs — no substitutions or workarounds needed, just peppers, sugar, vinegar, and pectin doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The water bath canning process locks in that gorgeous glossy set and gives you shelf-stable jars you can tuck away for months or hand off as gifts. Following the full rolling boil and precise one-minute pectin timing is the real secret to getting that satisfying, jiggly set every single time. Once you've made a batch from scratch, the store-bought stuff simply won't compare.
