Pepper Jelly & Cream Cheese

2 red bell peppers, seeded
2-4 fresno or serrano chilies, seeded
2 cups sugar
½  cup apple cider vinegar 
1 ½ teaspoon pectin

 

Pureé peppers in a blender or food processor.

Combine the pepper pureé, sugar & vinegar in a pot larger than you think you’ll need and bring it all to a boil.

Sprinkle in the pectin while aggressively whisking the mixture, bring it back to a boil and keep stirring for 1 minute. 
Remove from heat and pour into clean jars. Cool in jars, then refrigerate until ready to use, or process using approved canning methods.

One batch makes ~3 cups

Serve over room temp cream cheese with Ritz crackers!
