Sweet Apple. Serious Heat. Perfect Balance.

Jelly is one of the staple foods you need in your pantry. It is one that can be eaten directly out of the jar or added to your cooking. Texas Pepper Jelly's Apple Habanero Pepper Jelly is no different.

The sweet apples help create a blend of jelly that is a perfect ingredient to keep on hand.

It is a great PB & J sandwich jelly, especially if you like pepper jelly. Texas Pepper Jelly has a great kick of heat from the habaneros to make that delicious childhood treat come alive with taste.

Is habanero jelly hotter than jalapeño jelly?

Yes. Habaneros rank higher on the Scoville chart than a jalapeño. So yes, it is hotter.

Texas Pepper Jelly believes they have created a balance no other jelly maker has done. They've taken the sweetness of both the apples and the habanero and merged them to balance the heat. Creating a robust jelly that almost anyone will enjoy.

Why apple and habanero work together:

Apples bring natural sweetness and a familiar, comforting flavor. Habaneros bring intense heat but also fruity, almost tropical notes that most people don't notice because they're too busy reaching for milk. Texas Pepper Jelly figured out how to let those fruity habanero notes shine while keeping the heat exciting but manageable. The apple sweetness tames the fire without eliminating it.

The heat level:

Habaneros: 100,000-350,000 Scoville units (vs jalapeño's 2,500-8,000)
In this jelly: Balanced by apple sweetness for approachable heat
The experience: Sweet first, then warming heat that builds
Lingering warmth: Not painful, but definitely present
