This is excellent jalepeno jelly. I have gotten so many compliments on it, everyone loves it and always wants a jar. It is relatively simple to make. A definite keeper of a recipe

I made this as per the instructions except I preferred to mince the fruit by hand rather than in a blender. It came out wonderful and is very delicious on cream cheese and crackers! The consistancy was perfectly jellied and the peppers are very nicely suspended throughout. Definatly a keeper.

Bought some Jalapeno Jelly at a Chilli festival this summer and loved it so much I had to try to make it! Have made this recipe three times now and love it so much. I used Jam sugar ( 2 cups of the Jam sugar to 1 cup granulated) instead of the liquid pectin and it works really well. We keep meaning to save some for Christmas but it never quite makes it, my boys love it on toasted cheese sandwiches and I made beef meatballs glazed them in the jelly and baked them, delicious!

So yummy! Perfect spice level and very easy to make. We eat it with cream cheese on crackers. I just made some with red jalapeños and now I'm making it with green jalapeños!
