Something like lemon or lime juice plus canning citric acid.

Worth
Hot Pepper Jelly

2/3 cup hot peppers this amount can vary according
to what type of peppers used and how hot you want your jelly)
1 bell pepper
1 & 1/2 cups lime juice
6 cups sugar
8 ounces liquid Certo Pectin (2 packets)
1 teaspoon food coloring ( red or yellow I use red for hotter
Jelly &yellow for milder jelly)

Directions

1.Chop peppers and put in blender with vinegar.
2.Blend well and pour into large boiler.
3..Add sugar and mix well.
4.Bring mixture to a rolling boil and boil for 1 minute.
5.Remove from heat, strain through sieve and return liquid back to a boil.
6.Boil for 5 minutes.
7.Remove from heat.
8.Add Certo and food coloring quickly.
9.Put into 6 (1/2 pint) jars and seal.
10.I use heated seal method, where I heat the lids in boiling water, place on jar, secure ring tightly and turn jar upside down for 5 minutes.
11.Turn jar up correctly and allow to cool completely before storing


This is fabulous on pork or chicken and on meatballs as an
Appetizer!
