Red or Green Pepper Jelly

My 1st time making jelly and I used this recipe TWICE ! First time followed directions precisely - perfectly delicious sweet jelly! I was so impressed with the ease and texture of this recipe I modified it with some items from another recipe for Rasp-Habanero Jelly on this site. So..2nd time I mixed it up by using one bag of frozen raspberries, thawed and squashed, and 5 Habanero peppers (veins/seeds removed), and then added to that red peppers to add up to the 2 cups required in this recipe. It worked WONDERFULLY and is super spicy and yummy! It's beautiful in a jar - looks just like deep raspberry jam. These'll be Christmas presents for sure! Both times it made 12- 4oz jars, with a bit left over for me to snack on. Thanks so much -! !! !

I love this recipe, BUT I don not strain the juice as we like the bits of peppers in the jelly, I guess you could call it Jam, I added garlic and jalepino peppers to spice it up

Thanks for posting this recipe bert! I made the jelly this morning with a mix of mild and hot chili peppers from my garden. We had some with our lunch to top the cheese on sandwiches, and it is delicious. It was fun, easy and quick to make and it did make 6 small jars as stated. These jars will make nice presents too!

This jelly is great! I made a batch to give out for Christmas, but I think that I may need to make a 2nd batch just for us. I used 3 red bell peppers and 2 whole jalapenos (including seeds) to equal 2 cups, and 2 pouches of liquid pectin (85 ml each). I then processed them for 5 minutes. I yielded six 250ml (1 cup) jars and about 1/3-1/2 cup as a taster for us immediately. It has a nice heat to it and will go wonderfully with cream cheese or brie - I'm so looking forward to serving it. Thanks Bert for such a simple recipe.

I just made this recipe. It is awesome. I did add one jalopeno pepper with the seeds. It gave the jelly a little kick. Next time I might add 2 jalopenos.
