Why Do You Put Vinegar In Jalapeno Jelly?
Vinegar is added to jalapeno jelly as a preservative and to balance the sweetness of the jelly with some acidity. It also helps to enhance the flavors of the peppers and other ingredients, resulting in a tangy and savory jelly that can be used in a variety of recipes. The vinegar content in jalapeno jelly also prevents bacterial growth, thereby increasing the shelf life of the product.
