Instant Pot Captain Rodney’s Dip–a pepper jelly dip with cream cheese, bacon and cheddar.
Instant Pot Captain Rodney’s Dip
Tis the season for dips! Give me all the chips, crackers, pretzels and veggies and give me all the dips! This dip is a pepper jelly dip. It’s spicy, it’s sweet and it’s creamy. It’s not your typical dip! This dip is super fast and easy. You can make it in your Instant Pot or Crockpot.
If you’re not familiar with pepper jelly it is often made with bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, habaneros. It also often includes sugar and vinegar. Pepper jelly can be mild or red hot so read the label so you know what to expect and what to buy according to your tastes. I only put a quarter cup of pepper jelly into my dip but if you love it you can up the amount to a half cup.

It’s okay to pressure cook dairy products?
Well since it’s pot in pot it’s not direct heat. Plus it’s processed dairy so it doesn’t curdle like fresh milk would.
This sounds delicious. I have a friend who sells her homemade hot pepper jelly at our Farmers Market. I want to try this recipe using it. I have a question though. Why would it take 15 minutes on high pressure?
Because it is pot-in-pot so it takes longer to heat up because the food isn’t directly in the bottom of the pot
