Hot pepper jelly recipes are some of my favorite homemade jelly recipes.

I couldn't wait to try this Habanero Apricot Jelly recipe myself. It is delicious! The habanero peppers give it just enough heat to balance out the sweet flavor of apricots.

With the holiday season fast approaching it is a good idea to have a batch or two of Habanero Apricot Jelly in the pantry.

Serving hot pepper jelly over a block of cream cheese with crackers is one of the easiest appetizers to serve at your holiday parties or for when unexpected guests arrive and you need a fast and easy snack to serve.

Every time I serve hot pepper jelly with cream cheese and crackers my guests are amazed and rave about how good it is.

I think it is the best hot pepper jelly recipe I have ever made. I love it and plan on making another batch to give as Christmas gifts this year.

    I had soooo many peppers in my garden this year. This was one of my recipes at harvest time. So dang good. I was hesitant about the onion, but somehow it worked out lovely not oniony at all. I plan on making another batch tomorrow.

    Hi! Do you have a substitution recipe for low or no sugar? I have health issues that require me to stay away from refined sugars & I have found that using the low or no sugar pectin allows me to still enjoy wonderful recipes like this.

    What would you say the spice level is on this? Like mild, medium, hot? Also, can you use the powdered pectin instead of the liquid?

      Elizabeth the recipe uses liquid pectin. You can not substitute the powdered pectin because the directions for making jelly with powdered is different. The heat level is medium. Add s few more habanero if you like fiery hot. I've noticed the cooking takes some of the heat out of the hot peppers.
