If you have never had this then you are missing out big time. Spread Cream Cheese on Ritz Crackers, then smear a little pepper jelly on it .. yummmmmmm..
3/4 lb. jalapeno peppers
6 cups sugar
2 pouches liquid pectin
a few drops green or red food coloring (optional), It just makes it prettier :)
Wash, remove stems, cores and seeds from peppers.
In a scrupulously clean blender or food processor, puree the peppers with 1 cup vinegar. Transfer mixture to a large soup pot. Add remaining 1 cup vinegar and sugar. Heat to boiling and continue to boil for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add pectin and continue cooking at a rolling boil for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Skim any foam which accumulates at the top. Remove from stove. Add food coloring, if using.
While the jelly is still hot, ladle it into hot jelly jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Screw on lids and adjust. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes. Remove from canner and cool in a draft free place.
Store on shelf. Refrigerate after opening
You may want to cover your hands when handling pepper so you don't burn your hands or eyes.. Just the plastic/rubbery type or great .
