A pepper jelly to top off a cool block of cream cheese made with figs, jalapeno peppers, and honey for a warm, sweet finish. You can eat it this way with crackers or use the jelly as a dip for chicken strips, a sweet and sour sauce, or warmed up over ice cream.

  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 5 half pints 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen figs, crushed after rinsed and stems removed
  • 2 whole jalapeno peppers, cut stem off and discard
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon butter, to keep jelly from foaming
  • 1 1.75 ounces box Sure Jell

Instructions

  1. Sterilize five half-pint jars in the dishwasher or in a pot of boiling water on the stove.
  2. Rough chop peppers and process in a chopper or food processor until they are diced fine.
  3. Add figs, peppers, vinegar, sugar, honey, and butter to a heavy sauce pan. Bring to a boil with frequent stirring, then add Sur Jell.
  4. Boil and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Turn off heat and ladle into 5 hot, sterilized half-pint jars.
  6. Top jar openings with round seals and screw on lids and process in boiling water for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Listen for the pop of the lids that ensure preserving as they cool.
  • Use safe food preservation methods.
