The Best strawberry pepper jelly recipe
I’ve been making strawberry pepper jelly for years, and it’s always a hit with my family. I first discovered this recipe in a cookbook, and I was immediately drawn to the combination of sweet strawberries and spicy peppers.
The jelly has a lovely balance of flavors and textures, with the tartness of the strawberries cutting through the heat of the peppers. It’s perfect for topping toast, using as a glaze for meats, or as a filling for cakes and pastries.
My kids love it on their peanut butter sandwiches, and it’s also great as a dip for crackers or chips. I’ve even used it as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal in the morning.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s incredibly easy to make – just combine the ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil, and then let it simmer until the jelly sets. It’s also relatively healthy, made with just a few simple ingredients that are easy to find at most grocery stores.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Strawberry Pepper Jelly
Q: What kind of peppers should I use in this recipe?
A: You can use any variety of pepper you like, but I prefer to use jalapeños or serranos for their nice balance of heat and flavor. You can also use milder peppers like Anaheim or Poblano if you prefer less heat.
Q: Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
A: While fresh strawberries will give your jelly a more vibrant color and flavor, frozen strawberries are actually preferred in this recipe because they’re easier to puree and have a more intense flavor.
Q: How do I know when the jelly is set?
A: The jelly is set when it has thickened significantly and passed the ‘wrinkle test’. To do this, place a small amount of the jelly on a plate and let it cool to room temperature. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it’s ready. If not, continue to simmer the jelly until it reaches the desired consistency.
Q: Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
A: Yes, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker – simply combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Q: Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, this recipe is vegetarian-friendly – just be sure to use vegetarian-friendly pectin if you’re using store-bought pectin.
