Purple Reign Jelly

Striking violet-magenta. Purple Cayenne only.

Channel Specialty Showpiece Yield 6–8 jars Tier Hot Tier

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Purple Cayenne peppers, finely chopped (gloves required, ventilated)
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 pouches liquid pectin

Method

Standard Pepper Jellies process:

Fine-chop peppers in food processor. Combine peppers + vinegar + acid + sugar in heavy pot. Hard rolling boil 1 min. Stir in pectin, return to hard boil exactly 1 min. Skim foam. Ladle into sterilized half-pint jars (¼" headspace). Water bath 10 min. Pectin is mandatory — never omit/substitute.

Notes

  • Seeds in = full heat. Half seeds = medium-hot. Color intensity depends on ripeness — fully ripe purple cayennes give strongest violet-magenta.
