Walnut Free Pepper Jelly

Sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of fiery, this pepper jelly is the kind of condiment that turns a simple cracker-and-cream-cheese moment into something genuinely impressive. Red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapeños come together with apple cider vinegar and sugar to create a glossy, jewel-toned jelly that hits every note — sweet, bright, and gently spicy. The heat level is totally in your hands, since keeping or removing the jalapeño seeds and ribs lets you dial things up or down to suit your crowd. Store-bought pepper jellies can be a gamble when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared production lines and mystery "natural flavors" make labels hard to trust — making your own from scratch removes all of that uncertainty. The water bath canning process is straightforward and yields up to six half-pint jars, so you'll have plenty to gift, serve at a holiday spread, or keep stocked in the pantry for months. Liquid pectin gives the jelly that perfect, glossy set without any fuss, and the whole process comes together in one heavy-bottomed pot. Once you've made a batch, spooning it over a block of cream cheese or brushing it onto roasted meats will quickly become a habit you won't want to break.
