This jelly is wonderfulllll!! The only thing different that I did was to add 1 1/2 tsp of cayenne red pepper. Everyone that has tried it loves it.

Love this recipe as it is very similar to one I have from my grandmother. I often use both red and green sweet peppers finely chopped which makes it very festive in appearance. The one major difference between the two recipes is that mine uses Cider vinegar which really gives it a very unique taste.

This was very good, I made it to use in a baked brie and it was excellent. Great with cheese and on crackers. I only used 5 cups on sugar and next time I make it I'll try it with a little less. The sweet flavor of the peppers is plenty enough. Very very good. Make sure you do this in a pretty large pot though, I used my 6 quart pot and it wasn't enough when I boiled it the second time!
