The Black Peppercorn Spicing up mealtime!
We love this jelly on crackers with a bit of cream cheese. This jelly is not hot at all, but if you would like it to be spicier substitute more jalapeno peppers for the green peppers.

Great way to take care of that fast growing garden of jalapenos. Also would make a great gift, just have to make sure there is plenty to go around. Serving it with cream cheese and crackers sounds tasty! I have never made anything like this before, but this is inspiring.
