Ingredients
  

Hot Pepper Jelly

  • 1/2 cup seeded and chopped peppers jalapeƱo, serrano, and habanero
  • 1/2 cup seeded and chopped green pepper
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 3-oz. package liquid pectin

Turkey and Hot Pepper Jelly Sandwich

  • 4 rolls
  • 8 Tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 8 Tablespoons hot pepper jelly
  • 8 slices Sargento Deli Style Natural Blends Sharp Cheddar-Jack cheese
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 4 green leaf lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • Slice rolls and spread cream cheese on the top and bottom. Add a layer of pepper jelly.
  • Add cheese slices, turkey, lettuce and tomato.
  • You could buy pepper jelly at the store, but it is so rewarding to make you own. Just a note, you will want to wear gloves when working with these peppers. I picked an assortment of peppers from my garden. You could use all jalapeno if you wanted. I like the red serrano in this jelly because it adds color.
  • Using gloves, seed and chop the peppers. Add to a food processor and run for 1 minute, scraping down the sides, until the peppers are very finely chopped.
  • Add the peppers, sugar, and vinegar to a 4-quart enameled (or stainless steel) Dutch Oven.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in lime juice and pectin, and return to a rolling boil.
  • Boil for one additional minute, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat, and let stand for 1 minute.
  • Skim off any foam.
  • Pour into 3 (half-pint) canning jars. Let cool 1 hour. Cover and chill. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
