Ingredients

  • 1.5 large red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 baking apple, diced
  • 1 quince, diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 0.5 cups sugar
  • 2 ancho pepper
  • 0.5 cups vinegar

Directions

1

Add bell peppers, apples, quince, lemon juice, water, and sugar in a lidded 2 quart saucepan and cook over medium heat until all bits are soft (about 30-45 minutes)

2

While that cooks, roast or grill anchos - I used my electric grill for this.

3

Place anchos in paper bag to cool. Once cool, remove skin, dice and set aside

4

Puree softened pepper and fruit mix in blender. Over a spouted vessel, fill your jam bag with pureé, or use cheesecloth or coffee filters in a strainer to strain out the solids.

5

Mix strained puree with skinned, diced anchos and vinegar. Salt to taste. Pour into sterilized jars and process as normal for jam/jelly. Makes about a pint and a half, or three short mason jars.
