I don’t usually can the things I make. We eat them, enjoying them when they’re made. But if you would like to do so, please follow the instructions from the USDA’s National Center for Home Food Preservation or the official site from the makers of Ball jars. I have heard from many readers that they can this using a water bath method with no problems. If you’re the canning type, it will make fantastic holiday gifts. So, you can make this pepper jelly recipe without canning it, or with canning it if you prefer.
