🌶️ 15-Minute Red Pepper Jelly Recipe | Easy Sweet & Spicy Appetizer

If you’re looking for a quick, from-scratch recipe that’s big on flavor, this Red Pepper Jelly is one of my all-time favorites. It’s sweet, a little spicy, and only takes 15 minutes to make from start to finish (plus optional canning time)!

This jelly makes the perfect holiday appetizer poured over cream cheese and served with homemade crackers, or brushed on roast chicken, pork, or meatballs for a touch of sweet heat. It’s also one of my go-to homemade gifts to tuck into Christmas baskets or bring to a fall gathering.

In this video, I’ll walk you through every step, from chopping your peppers to getting that perfect set, and share how to can or refrigerate or can your jelly safely for later.

✅ How to make Red Pepper Jelly in just 15 minutes
