Ingredients

  • 4 large green jalapeños, chopped (keep some or all seeds to vary the heat level)

  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 6 cups sugar
  • 2 ½ Tbs. powdered pectin
  • 8 oz. Sun-Maid Dried Mango, diced

    Pulse jalapenos, red pepper, and apple cider vinegar in a blender until the peppers are finely chopped.

    Meanwhile, set up a water bath: place a metal or silicone trivet in the stockpot. Fill with 8-10” of water and bring to a simmer.

    Remove the pepper mixture from the heat and use a spoon to skim off any foam that has formed. Let cool for 2 minutes.

    Use a ladle to portion into sterilized jars, leaving ¼” of air space below the rim. Seal with lids and gently tighten with rings.

    Using the canning tongs, carefully lower the jars into the simmering water. Let process for 10 minutes and then use the tongs to set the jars on a clean kitchen towel. Let the jars fully cool before serving.
