Jalapeno Jelly
3/4 cup chopped red bell peppers
3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
1/3 cup diced and seeded jalapenos
2 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
6 table spoons Certo liquid pectin

Combine the peppers, jalapenos, sugar, vinegar and lime juice in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Heat until warm and sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture in a blender or food proccessor and blend for 5 seconds. Return the blended mixture to the the sauce pan and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pectin, increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool. Jelly will set as it cools down. When cool cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days, or can and store up to a year.

I made this several years ago and really liked it. I mix a small jar with a brick of cream cheese and spread it on wheat bread. Something different to take in my lunches!

I just opened my jalapeno jelly tonight that I made a few weeks back. I used the Certo recipe in the package. I'm pretty disappointed, it's way way too sweet and not near enough heat.
Crawlingtoy does this recipe pack a little heat? Or do you just adjust with leaving some seeds in? Also how much does it make?
I love it mixed with cream cheese and spread on almost anything but in particular corn bread and wheat thins crackers.

This can be adjusted two ways. First is to change the ratio of sweet peppers to jalapeno's. More jalapeno's more heat. The second is to use a hotter pepper. I have made thai chili jelly and habanero jelly with great success. The first was because I was doing an asian menu, and the second was because I wanted it HOT. If you like hot stuff, go with the hotter peppers.
