This could have been easy but I couldn't find liquid pectin.. Found powdered pectin eventually...Absolutely no idea of the ratio, never having used pectin before... First batch runny,, Added more pectin,,, honey consistency,,, final attempt, more pectin and it set within a couple of hours... It is divine.. I can't stop eating it... I have made several jars for xmas gifts... I am sure they won't be disappointed with the final result. i had it with cream cheese... Yummmmmmm

This was awesome! The first time I made it I found that it was a little runny so I added another package of the liquid pectin and it turned out much better!! I use it as a sauce for pork chops and a dip for chicken figers. It goes great with cream cheese and crackers!! Thanks for posting. This is my new naughty, night time snack:)

I love pepper jelly and this recipe is wonderful; although I did adjust it just a bit. I used apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar and I used jalapenos instead of bell peppers. To grind them I placed them in a blender--cut off the stems but kept the seeds--then followed the recipe. It gives a WONDERFUL mild spice with the sweet and everyone I've given a jar to LOVES it!!
