Ok decided to can up some pepper jelly...remember it's not as hot as it sounds...but man is it GREAT on biscuits. I got this recipe from my great grandma. She even puts habenero's in this but I didn't have any right now.
Start with japs, serranos, piquins, dynomites...what ever you want and what ever mix you have. I started with Japs, serranos, piquins, cherry bombs..
wash and seed all peppers ( i only seed about 3/4)...
put in blender or processor...blend or chop(i like chunks and that is how grams does hers)
4 cups of peppers and juice
1 cup cider vinegar
5 cups sugar
2 pouches of sure jell (liquid fruit pectin)
put peppers in pot with juice and vinegar. stir pectin in to fruit (add 1/2 teaspoon of butter to reduce foam if needed) bring to a rolling boil stirring constantly. when boiling add sugar quickly and bring back to rolling boil. then boil for 1 minute. remove from heat and poor in to jars and either set upside down for 5 minutes or do a water bath.
before blender
after blender just before sugar added
in to the jars
and then wait for the pop...cool for 24hrs and ready to enjoy !
