The best pepper jelly I've had. Boiled for 10 min, then 5 min w pectin. Used 2 jumbo & 3 medium red peppers & 7oz jalapeno's so increased sugar to 7 cups. This made 5 small canning jars & 1 lg 645 ml jar of jelly, about 1/3 of store cost. Check reduced produce section of your store too!

Don't panic if your hard work doesn't set up. If you are in Canada, use certo brand liquid pectin. It works best for this recipe. And don't forget to process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes after filling. I used 4 large red bell peppers and 7 green jalapeno peppers. The red pepper flavor is what I set out to accomplish along with the sweet and wonderful taste of the jalapeno peppers. I left in some jalapeno seeds and added the cayenne. Very Nice....and Loved by everyone. Hope this helps.............cheers!

This was my first time making jelly, and I couldn't be happier. WOW! This stuff is delicious. I appreciate all the comments, even the negative ones, because I feel like I've benefited from others. Thanks especially to the ones who mentioned how they substituted fresh peppers ... because that's where I got the idea to make pepper jelly! Someone gave us about 10 lbs of jalapenos ... and I know EXACTLY where they're all going to end up!

7 times I have used this recipe and it has never failed. Use the right amounts of sugar and make sure you boil the pectin for the right time, 5 min, it will set. I used 4-6 fresh jalapenos with half the seeds removed to replace the cans. I placed all the peppers in the food processor but didnt quite puree it and left some of the peppers chunky. I got great compliments and everyone thought it looked better than just clear.

I used 2 fresh jalepeno peppers (in lieu of the canned pappers) seeded and deveined along with the bell peppers. Instead of mincing, I cut them in large chunks so they could easily be scooped out after the allotted time for cooking and just prior to adding either green or red food coloring. The jelly is then beautifully clear which I prefer when giving as gifts and I don't have to worry with turning it to evenly distribute the pepper flecks and it does not alter the taste at all. It is absolutely delicious as a condiment for pork, chicken, or with the ever lovely cream cheese and crackers! It's a staple at my house for Super Bowl Sunday and even the little kids enjoy it! Not too hot or too sweet. We love it. Many thanks for a great recipe.

Wonderful recipe! I chopped the peppers in the food processor and then strained off the excess water, this way the jelly set up very nicely. its extremely tasty and I will make again!
