Cranberry Pepper Jelly
Makes 3 cups
Adapted from Bon Appetit
3 red bell peppers, finely chopped
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup liquid pectin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups fresh cranberries
zest from one lemon
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peppers, sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the liquid pectin and lemon juice and reduce the heat slightly. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cranberries and simmer until they begin to burst and the juices start to thicken. Just as you are about to take the jelly off the heat, stir in the lemon zest. Transfer to clean jars and store in the fridge.
