I doubled the recipe on everything except for the sugar (I added 4.5 cups, add to taste), and I used 2 pouches of Bernardin liquid pectin. Boiled the fruit/sugar/vinegar for 5-10 min, removed from heat, added pectin, boiled for another few minutes. It did not seem like it was getting thicker, once I filled my jars and let it sit for approx 30 min it gelled perfectly! Will use chili peppers next time as I think that would compliment the raspberries better than the jalapenos did.

If you are having trouble getting it to set, is it possible you are using the boiling canning method? That was my problem. Then my friends mom told me to fill the hot jars with the hot jelly, turn the cans upside down. The heat will seal the jars. It has set perfectly every time since I started sealing my jars this way.

I used strawberries instead of Rasberries and it tastes awesome.

This was my first time making jelly. Kindof fun to do. I tweaked the recipe a little. I combined between my canning book recipe and this recipe. It needs a lot more jalapenos than the 1/4 cup full. Next time I will do 3/4 - 1 cup of them. When it came to boiling my book said to boil hard for 10 minutes, then remove from heat, stir in pectin, then place back on burner and bring to boil for 1 more minute. My jelly turned out great, it set up within 30 mins, just wished I would of put more jalapenos in for some bite.

Made this a # of times. It took a couple of hours to set but was wonderful. I have since changed this recipe and used blueberries instead--OH BOY!!! Just smush the blueberries a little during the cooking process and if after straining you see the litlle seeds, just use a spoon and skim them off. Easy enough because its already setting.

I like the spicy after taste with the sweetness of the strawberries

I was so excited to make this jelly, however, it didn't turn out at all.. I even tried one of the other viewers customed ways because they said it finally set but mine turned out runny.. Any suggestions on how to get it to set? I would really love to try again..

Strangely delicious! I used Sure Gel instead of liquid pectin and it turned out perfectly.

I doubled this recipe adding 1 c blackberries ( only had 1 c of raspberries in the freezer) and an extra c of sugar. Drained the juice from the chopped peppers and did not strain. I brought to a rolling boil for 10 min., used 2 (3 oz) pkg of Ball liquid pectin, rolling boil for another minute. It came out PERFECT! Tastes luscious, looks beautiful, going to enter in the County Fair. Can't wait to give in special Christmas baskets with my other green Jalepeno jelly. Thank you so much for this recipe.
