pepper jelly recipe?

LINK

I've had good success with this one or even just the recipe in the Sure Jell box. The comments seem to indicate that it doesn't set up properly when prepared as stated, but I've never had a problem. In fact, I doubled the pectin as some of the commenters suggested and it started setting up in the pot before I could get it all jarred and turned out kind of rubbery. I believe they just don't know how to make jelly.

The recipe included in the pectin packet works just fine. The variety of pepper you use will make a difference in flavor, not just in heat.

It's not that hard, but you do have to go in order on the steps. Measure out all your ingredients before you start. Use a pot that's big enough to stir constantly when it starts to boil to keep it from boiling over. Cook everything over high heat. Skimming the foam is hard to do with pepper jelly because of all the pieces of pepper, so just scoop off what you can. Use a jar filler and wipe the mouth of the jar before putting the lid on it.

I've made it before with jalapeno and cayenne. Neither was overly hot. If you want to increase the heat, add more hot peppers and reduce the bell pepper by the same amount.
