Pepper Jelly

I love pepper jelly. This recipe is a mix of sweet and heat. My favorite way to use it is: Pour some pepper jelly over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers. You can't get any easier than that for an appetizer and it has always been a crowd pleaser. I like to have both items on hand, just in case I have unexpected guests. This recipe makes 3 cups of pepper jelly and it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. It also makes a great hostess or neighborly gift!

Made as an appetizer for the football games today, and glad that I have some more leftover. Great GREAT dip. I took your advice with the cream cheese, and this worked out perfectly. I did cut back on the green pepper, and added a little more red pepper. Other than that recipe was made as posted. Served these with some ritz crackers, and some triscuits. Made for Recipe Swap #44..
