Jalapeno Christmas Jelly

Ingredients:

1-cup chopped red bell pepper      

1/2 cup chopped jalapeno

5 cups white sugar

1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar

1 (6 fluid ounce) Liquid Pectin (boxes may have 2- 3 ounce packets)

Directions:

1. Remove stems, veins, seeds of the bell and jalapeno peppers. finely chop.(for hotter jelly leave in  jalapeno seeds)

2. In a 5 quart pot over high heat, combine bell and jalapeno peppers, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a rolling boil; boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.

3. Add pectin while stirring constantly, let cool for 2 minutes, stirring again for 1 minute. 

4. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and top with lids. Secure lids and allow jars to cool slowly, creating a vacuum seal. Once cooled refrigerate. makes 6-8 jars

   Why do I wait until the last minute?  I made this wreath a few days ago as a gift. It is a take off from Starbucks Wreaths,  I bought enough supplies to make a few more (not gonna happen)

Oh and the Jalapeno Christmas Jelly! My daughter and I stayed up until 3am finishing.... It's fabulous over cream cheese and crackers. Yum yum
