How to Prepare Pineapple Pepper Jelly [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine the pineapple, peppers, vinegar, lime juice, brown rice syrup, agave, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a slow boil on medium-high heat, then lower the heat so that the mixture doesn’t bubble over.
Stir frequently and simmer until quite thick, glossy and reduced to about half the original amount. This will take at least 1 hour. Keep in mind the jelly will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you don’t plan on canning the jelly, let it cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you want to can it for gifting or later use, ladle the hot jelly into a sterilized mason jar and process in a hot water bath for 5 minutes.

Notes

If you decide to make a large batch of the jelly for canning and find all that chopping action daunting, pulse the veggies in a food processor to mince them and save some time.
