Make with any kind and mix of hot peppers that you have, they are all good.

In 2021-11 I used 41g of Inca Red Drop peppers and got an absolutely delightful result.

Steps

  1. Pull stems off, leave membrane & seeds, of hot peppers and place in Cuisinart bowl. Which peppers you use, and how much of them, is entirely up to you so you probably want to keep records.
  2. Cut red bell pepper into 1" chunks and put in bowl.
  3. Pulse, the peppers to chop them. Do not puree!!
  4. Pit, do not skin, & cut up fresh peach into 1" chunks
  5. Add 4 slices of canned peaches to the bowl and pulse again to chop.
  6. Add apple cider vinegar to peach/pepper mixture and pulse to mix.
  7. Put in a bowl with granulated sugar
  8. Technically this is a "marmalade" not a jelly or a jam.
  9. Let the pepper, peach, vinegar & sugar mixture stand for 10 minutes.
  10. Meanwhile, combine sugar free freezer jam pectin and water, bring to the boil over medium heat, boil 2 minutes.
  11. Gradually stir cooked pectin into pepper mixture, stirring for 3 minutes.
  12. Using a canning funnel pour pepper mixture into the hot jars.
  13. Screw the lids on tightly. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours to fully set up. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze up to 1 year.
