Hot Pepper Jelly, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this glossy hot pepper jelly in the condiment or specialty/shelf-stable aisle, or perched on a holiday cheese board or brunch spread. It gives a sweet-spicy, slightly nostalgic vibe—think finger-food parties and cozy gatherings—with a jammy pectin-set texture from added sugar and acid. The simple ingredient list points to a preserved, processed condiment rather than a fresh product: sugar and vinegar dominate while pectin and citric acid provide the spreadable, stable texture typical of processed jams.

Why this score?
This is a processed (NOVA 3) condiment: it combines whole ingredients (peppers) with significant added sugar and acid and uses pectin as a gelling agent to create a shelf-stable, spreadable product rather than being an ultra-formulated industrial food.
