Habanero & Red Pepper Jelly

Pepper jelly has a long history in the American south—and many a jam-maker swears they make the best version. While I’m in no position to be making such grandiose claims myself, I will say that ours is pretty dang excellent, and one of the few jams we sell year-round.  Unlike store-bought varieties, which can be cloyingly sweet and too gelatinous, ours is downright spoonable and full-bodied in flavor featuring red bell peppers and habanero chilies.  To further balance the inherent sweetness in this jam, we use vinegar, which amplifies the spice and adds nuance to this sweet and spicy all-star.
