Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Red bell peppers
• 4 medium-sized Jalapeño peppers
• 3 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 3 oz Liquid pectin
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red bell peppers and jalapeño peppers thoroughly. Remove the stems and seeds for a milder jam or keep some seeds for extra heat.

Step 2

Chop the peppers finely, or pulse them in a food processor until they reach a diced consistency. Be cautious when handling jalapeños, as the oils can cause irritation; consider wearing gloves.

Step 3

Add the chopped peppers, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt to your bread machine pan.

Step 4

Set the bread machine to the 'Jam' setting and start the cycle.

Step 5

After approximately 60 minutes (or when the machine prompts during the jam cycle), add the liquid pectin and butter to the bread machine. Stir gently with a heat-safe spatula to incorporate, then close the lid to allow the cycle to complete.

Step 6

Once the jam cycle is done (about 90 minutes in total), carefully transfer the hot pepper jam into sterilized glass jars. Leave about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 7

Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or process the jars in a boiling water bath for long-term storage.
