Jalapeno Jelly

We love this jelly on crackers with a bit of cream cheese. This jelly is not too hot, 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.
