    No, pepper jelly would not be allowed in Florida. Actually, when it mentions jams, jellies, and preserves it is only referring to those made from fruit. Any kind of canned vegetables are not allowed, as you can see in the second question of the FAQ.

      Thanks, David!

      I thought there might be leeway because it is fruit jam (just fruit jam that also includes a vegetable). I understand why, given that not everyone is smart about canning low-acid foods, but it’s too bad.

      Yeah I agree that they have to restrict the law because some people wouldn’t be careful, but I suppose that is the definition of “potentially” hazardous. The truth is that basically every state makes an exception and disallows pepper jellies, so Florida’s probably not going to be adding it anytime soon.
