Quick tip: I used my Vita-mix as well as it pretty much pulverized all of the seeds inward the peppers. The few that remained, floated to the happen of the jelly. I don't heed this precisely it y'all desire an solely seed-free jelly, run the pulp through a sieve earlier the boiling step.

Pepper jelly has that unique character of beingness both right away shockingly hot as well as sweetness at the same time. Luckily, scotch bonnets pick out a flake of a fruity Federal Reserve annotation to them as well as then this jam isn't all flames. It is rich as well as complex tasting equally well. I recommend a sparse spread of it on a sandwich or equally a glaze on meat. Anywhere really, y'all require sweetness heat.
